The required information is such information as may be specified by the Welsh Ministers in regulations in accordance with Section 45 of the Act, relating to the authorised deposit scheme which applies, the Landlord's compliance with the initial requirements of the scheme, and the operation of Chapter 4 of Part 3 of the Act (Deposits and Deposit Schemes), including the Contract-Holder's rights (and the rights of any person who has paid the deposit on the Contract-Holder's behalf) in relation to the deposit. Upon the Contract-Holder vacating the Premises and after deduction of all agreed or authorised deductions, the balance of the Deposit shall be refunded to [the Contract-Holder] OR [the Relevant Person].

Any damage, or compensation for damage, to the Premises, its Fixtures and Fittings, or for missing items and cleaning or removal & disposal of furniture /rubbish for which the Contract-Holder may be liable, subject to an apportionment or allowance for fair wear and tear, the age and condition of each, and any such item at the commencement of the Contract, save for insured risks and repairs that are the responsibility of the Landlord;

The Deposit is safeguarded with a deposit scheme. The Landlord or their Agent must tell the Contract-Holder within 10 working days of the end of the Contract if they propose to make any deductions from the Deposit.
If the Contract-Holder cannot be contacted at the end of the Contract then the Landlord shall apply for the release of the Deposit to cover their reasonable losses.

The Independent Case Examiner ("ICE") may regard failure to comply with the time limit as a breach of the rules of the TDS and if the ICE is later asked to resolve any dispute may refuse to adjudicate in the matter. In the event of multiple Contract-Holders comprising the Contract-Holder, each of them agrees with the other(s) that any one of them may consent on behalf of all the others to use alternative dispute resolution through TDS to deal with any dispute about the Deposit at the end of the Contract. If, after 10 working days following notification of a dispute to the Landlord or their Agent and reasonable attempts having been made in that time to resolve any differences of opinion, there remains an unresolved dispute between the Landlord and the Contract-Holder over the allocation of the Deposit the dispute will be submitted to the ICE for adjudication.

The Landlord shall not be obliged to refund the Deposit or any part of the Deposit on any change in the person or persons who for the time being comprise "the Contract-Holder". Where more than one person is comprised for the time being in the expression "the Contract-Holder" the Deposit may be repaid to any one Contract-Holder and this repayment shall discharge the Landlord from any further liability in respect of the amount so repaid. Any goods or personal effects belonging to the Contract-Holder or members of the Contract-Holder's household which shall not have been removed from the Premises within 14 days after the expiry or sooner termination of the Contract created by this Contract shall be deemed to have been abandoned, provided that the Landlord shall have used their reasonable endeavours to give written notice of the same to the Contract-Holder. In such circumstances the Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such abandoned goods or personal effects as he shall see fit. The Contract-Holder shall indemnify the Landlord for any costs and expenses that may be incurred by the Landlord arising from the removal, storage or sale of such items. The Contract-Holder shall pay by way of damages to the Landlord any additional expenses which the Landlord shall have reasonably incurred in checking the Inventory and Schedule of Condition if the same could not reasonably be finalised until any goods or personal effects belonging to the Contract-Holder have been removed from the Premises.
