Your Deposit Options

One of the most expensive parts of moving into any rental property is the deposit, which is why here at BestLet Anglia we and our landlords offer a number of options to you.

Security Deposits

A traditional cash deposit costs the equivalent of five week’s rent. This money is held in a deposit scheme, so your money is protected. At the end of your rental period, the money is returned subject to any deductions you agree or the deposit scheme provider agrees we are owed.  We use TDS, one of the government-backed schemes.

Deposit Replacements

Deposit replacements are products that are designed to give you, as the tenant, more choice. Our landlords will accept a Zero Deposit Guarantee. You purchase the Zero Deposit Guarantee, which costs the same as one week’s rent, and this buys the landlord the same cover as a security deposit.

If there are any deductions Zero Deposit uses TDS (one of the government-backed schemes) who decides what you are responsible for. Zero Deposit then pays the landlord and you pay Zero Deposit.

We offer Zero Deposit with our properties. You can choose between a traditional deposit, or buy a Zero Deposit guarantee, which costs one week’s rent. To find out more, visit www.zerodeposit.com
