What is it?
A deposit is a security deposit a tenant pays at the start of a tenancy. It is paid into a government-approved scheme, provided no money is owed to the property owner/manager at the end of the tenancy the money is paid back to the tenant. A deposit can be used to pay for outstanding rent, damages or other costs.
How much is it?
The deposit is a maximum of five times the weekly rent.
There are no admin fees whatsoever
