RentWise Team: A landlord’s bankruptcy does not automatically end your tenancy or cancel the obligation to account for your deposit. Keep your lease, payment records, inspection reports and messages, and contact any receiver, new owner or Official Assignee involved to ask how to submit your claim. Continue paying rent and do not treat the deposit as rent without proper advice. If the deposit is not returned or lawful deductions are disputed, you can consider the RTB dispute resolution process, although recovery may depend on the bankruptcy estate and the facts; a solicitor can advise on your position.
