Built for UK renters

Protect your deposit before you need to.

Most tenants lose deposit disputes not because they were wrong — but because they had no evidence. RenterVault gives you the record that wins.

The reality

Most renters lose their deposit to disputes they could have prevented.

Landlords have one advantage: they know what documentation wins disputes and they count on you not having it. A timestamped, evidenced record changes that equation entirely.

Deposit protection is a legal obligation, not a courtesy
Your landlord must protect your deposit in a government-approved scheme within 30 days and give you prescribed information. Failing to do so can result in 1–3× the deposit in compensation.
Example: Your landlord takes a £1,200 deposit on 1 March. By 31 March they must give you a deposit protection certificate from DPS, MyDeposits, or TDS.
Critical
Section 21 — what to check before you panic
A Section 21 is a no-fault eviction notice. It is only valid if your deposit is protected, you were given the How to Rent guide, and the correct form was used within the correct timeframe.

Renters using RenterVault

The vault that changed the outcome.

★★★★★

My landlord tried to claim £600 for marks I photographed on move-in day. I sent the timestamped photos from RenterVault and got my full deposit back within a week.

★★★★★

The Rights Library told me my Section 21 was invalid because my deposit wasn't protected. I'd never have known that. Gave me the confidence to challenge it properly.

J

★★★★★

Worth every penny just for the move-in checklist. I found out my landlord hadn't given me the How to Rent guide — something I'd have completely missed before.

Questions

Things people ask before signing up.

Is this a legal service? Do I get advice from a solicitor? +
No — RenterVault is not a legal service and does not provide legal advice. It gives you the documentation, rights education, and structured record that make your position defensible. For active court proceedings or urgent legal deadlines, you should speak to a qualified housing adviser or solicitor. Shelter (0808 800 4444) and Citizens Advice (0800 144 8848) are free starting points.
When should I start — before or after I move in? +
Ideally before move-in day. The move-in checklist covers things you should check and request before you sign — including your EPC, gas safety certificate, and inventory. If you're already renting, start today — a timestamped record from now is still far better than no record at all.
What happens to my data if I cancel? +
You can cancel before your renewal date and you will retain access for the remainder of your paid year. We recommend exporting or downloading any key evidence files before your access expires. Your data is stored securely and is not shared with landlords or third parties.
Does this work for all UK tenancies? +
RenterVault is designed for assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs) in England — the most common form of private renting. The rights guidance is England-specific. If you rent in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, the laws differ significantly and some guidance will not apply to your situation.
How does the deposit risk score work? +
The risk score is a guide based on how complete your vault is — whether you have a tenancy record, logged issues, and uploaded evidence. The more complete your vault, the lower your risk score. It is not a legal assessment; it is a prompt to keep your record current and thorough.
Can my landlord see what I upload? +
No. Your vault is private. Only you can see your records, uploads, and issue logs. Nothing is shared with your landlord, letting agent, or any third party. You control what evidence you choose to use and when.
Ready to start?

Your landlord is prepared. Now you can be too.

Build the record that protects your deposit before you're in a position where you need it. Ten minutes of setup. Twelve months of cover.
