Information about holding deposits and the application process: In Wales, a holding deposit is a payment taken by a letting agent or landlord to reserve a property for a prospective tenant while referencing and other pre-tenancy checks are carried out.
This deposit is typically capped at one week’s rent under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.
It is not the same as the security deposit, which is what is to later be paid to secure the property, once the Occupation Contract is signed.
Your Holding Deposit payment is a payment towards this full security deposit; therefore, it is considered as a pre-payment of 1-weeks rent towards the capped 5-week rent deposit (i.e.
It is added to the ‘security deposit balance’, as stated above) Once the holding deposit is paid, Albany Property Services will accept your offer to rent the property and begin processing you application(s).
