A landlord does not claim the bond before the tenancy ends unless the claim is joint or pays the tenants. It claims only for reasonable repair or restoration of damage beyond fair wear and tear caused by the tenant, an occupant or invitee, unpaid rent and charges, reasonable cleaning where not left reasonably clean, locks the tenant changed without consent, and other prescribed amounts. Where it claims without the tenant's consent, it gives the tenant within 7 days a copy of the completed outgoing condition report and copies of the estimates, quotes, invoices or receipts for the work (and to the Department of Communities and Justice where it paid part of the bond). From 21 September 2026 no claim is made against a tenant for damage caused during domestic abuse by another tenant (ss 54, 54A).
This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 1 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
