Finding extra hours in your day can sometimes feel like finding a needle in a haystack. We’ve made our deposit protection surprisingly easy to help you spend less time on administrative tasks like creating tenancies.

Our Multiple Tenancy Upload Tool saves you time by allowing you to add multiple properties and create multiple tenancies in one go. Follow these simple steps to speed up your deposit protection administration.

  1. Navigate to our How to protect a deposit page
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Multiple Tenancy Upload Tool” to download the template
  3. Add each new tenancy to the spreadsheet, one row per tenancy
  4. Send your completed spreadsheet to bulkuploads@depositprotection.com
  5. We'll send you confirmation the tenancies have been created, the value of the tenancy deposits and their payment reference. Use this payment reference when making your bank transfer to allow us to automatically allocate the money to the relevant deposits

Tips to help ensure upload success:

  • When completing the spreadsheet, make sure you record a unique email address or mobile number (or both) for each tenant on the tenancy. Email addresses or mobile numbers cannot be duplicated for more than one tenant in the same tenancy.
  • Don’t amend or hide any spreadsheet columns. This can affect the upload and prolong the process.
  • You must complete all the mandatory fields. These are identified at the top of the spreadsheet, highlighted in yellow.
  • Where cells have fixed responses or formatting, don’t attempt to change these with options that aren’t available. For example, the field ‘Enter level of furnishing’, only select a response from the list provided.
  • When inputting dates use DD/MM/YYYY format.
  • When adding a mobile number, make sure you include the correct country code. If you don’t include a country code, the mobile data may be removed for the spreadsheet to be uploaded.
  • Make sure you confirm if there is a relevant person for the tenancy information in Column ‘DP’: Is there a relevant person? (Yes/ No)
