Zero Deposit
Moving home can be costly, making it hard to find your deposit, first month’s rent and the other costs of moving. A Zero Deposit Guarantee costs the equivalent of one week’s rent and replaces the traditional tenancy deposit, aiming to make renting more affordable.
Pay less upfront: Free up cash by paying a fee equivalent to one week’s rent.
More choice: Zero Deposit gives tenants an alternative to the traditional deposit.
Greater freedom when moving: Avoid having to fund a second deposit when moving from one rental property to another.
