The dispute process
After discussing the return of the deposit and any proposed deductions, you may not agree how much should be returned. If this happens, the tenant can raise a dispute through our free alternative dispute resolution (ADR) service.

What happens once the adjudicator has made a decision?
The agent, landlord or tenant may apply for a review within 10 working days of being notified of the decision, but only on the grounds that the adjudicator has erred in fact or in law, or both.
