What is TDS Resolution?
Owned and operated by The Dispute Service Limited, TDS Resolution is a conciliation/mediation service that aims to facilitate a satisfactory resolution between landlords and tenants without the need for further action.
TDS Resolution is now open to TDS member letting agents (with the consent of the landlord) that can contact us during the course of an ongoing tenancy for us to facilitate mediation or conciliation.
Our service is free and confidential. We are able to assist in the following types of issues/disputes:
-
Property standards
-
Repairs
-
Entry rights
-
Rent arrears
-
Threatened evictions
-
Breach of tenancy terms
-
Noise/Anti-social behaviour (except serious anti-social activity)
Our aim is to secure mutually acceptable agreements between landlords and tenants to allow tenancies to be sustained.
What we CANNOT deal with:
-
Evictions
-
Legal advice
-
End of tenancy disputes
-
Deposit issues
This service is NOT suitable for dealing with issues after the tenancy has ended, including disputes about the return of a deposit. TDS Resolution is also unable to assist with or provide legal advice on the eviction process.
For all deposit enquiries, please contact Tenancy Deposit Scheme directly:

What is Conciliation/Mediation?
Conciliation and mediation involve an independent third party bringing two parties together to reach a compromise.
A conciliator tends to play a more active role in making proposals about the settlement of the dispute. In either case, the third party’s role is to help the parties reach a mutually acceptable solution – the conciliator or mediator will not impose an outcome.
How the service works

Providing the other party consents, we will try to resolve the matter by talking to both parties separately in the first instance. If suitable, a group session with both parties present can be organised with the mediator. The mediation usually takes place within 10 working days.

We are impartial and it’s our role to help you find a mutually acceptable solution to your problem. All discussions between the parties will be confidential.
TDS is a Complaint Handler member of the Ombudsman Association.
