What is No Deposit Renting?

No Deposit Renting, or deposit alternatives, allow tenants to opt out of a traditional deposit (typically five weeks' rent) and instead pay a non-refundable fee of one week's rent.

Recently highlighted in the government's latest 'How to Rent Guide', this option benefits tenants by eliminating the need for a substantial cash deposit. In 2023, the average amount payable by a tenant was £242, compared to a typical £1,300 cash deposit, offering significant savings.

The landlord in turn is protected for between 5 to 8-week’s rent sometimes 12 weeks cover in case of any rent arrears or damages.

Most providers have different ways of covering landlords, with some cover being insurance backed, and some offering an insurance type warranty, being held by the provider. So landlords can be comfortable that they will be paid in the event of any charges.
