*Holding deposit:The holding deposit is no greater than one weeks rent and once paid reserves a property for the applicant.
If the landlord withdraws the property or declines your application the holding deposit will be refunded in full.
However, the deposit can be forfeited if any relevant person (including any guarantor) withdraws from the tenancy, fails a Right-to-Rent check, provide materially significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign their tenancy agreement (and/or Deed of Guarantee) within 15 calendar days (or an extended Deadline as mutually agreed).
On signing the tenancy agreement, the Holding Deposit becomes part of the Damage Deposit and will be offset against the total deposit due.
