Landlord didn’t invest deposit- what are my rights?

22 January 2014 by YourProperty

I have rented a house for a few years now.

When I issued a verbal notice to the landlord he accepted it and then we checked the house for damages and repairs.

The landlord does not know that the deposit must be invested in a financial institution, which I was also not aware of.

The landlord is adamant that we agreed on the money that I deposited in his account.

The lease agreement we have signed does not state anything about where the money must be kept.

Do I have a valid complaint to take to the Rental Housing Tribunals?

Regards,
Betrayed Tenant
