There is no joining fee for Deposit Guard but you have to be a member of RLA which costs £75 to join. Therefore, unless you’re already a member of RLA it’s not really any cheaper to register a single deposit than using My Deposits (in fact it’s more expensive if you’re deposit is under £300). Having said that, you do receive additional benefits by being a member of RLA.
It’s good for landlords to have another option though.
DepositGuard is the special discount option RLA members.
Non RLA members can still join TDS for Landlords at a slightly higher price, but also with no joining fee and protection for the life of the tenancy instead of an annual renewal arrangement.
