Q: What is a holding deposit and how much is it?
A: The holding deposit is equal to one week’s rent. It reserves the property while your application is processed. It may be withheld if you or a guarantor withdraw, fail a Right-to-Rent check, provide false information, or don’t sign the tenancy agreement within 15 days (or an agreed deadline).

A: Yes. Variations to the contract cost £50 + VAT each. Changing a sharer costs £50 + VAT per new tenant and covers referencing, Right-to-Rent checks, and paperwork.

A: If you request early termination, you’re responsible for the landlord’s reasonable re-letting costs plus rent until a new tenant moves in. These won’t exceed the remaining rent owed.
