Client Money Protection

What is client money protection (CMP)?

CMP is an insurance that reimburses tenants or landlords if their deposit or rental income is stolen or misused by their letting agent. From 1st April 2019, CMP is a mandatory requirement for letting agents who handle client money (for example collecting rent/tenancy deposits).
