How long does a landlord have to return my deposit?Beta*

Once you and the landlord agree how much you'll get back, it must be returned within 10 days. If you can't agree, the disputed part stays protected in the scheme until it's settled, and the rest should be paid to you. If you hear nothing, write to the landlord or agent asking for the deposit back. If that gets no reply, contact the scheme directly: it can start the return process for you 14 days after the tenancy ends.
