A deposit replacement by deposit experts

Give your tenants choice

Give your tenants the option to choose a flexible, monthly subscription over the course of the tenancy instead of the traditional cash deposit.

Our protection promise

If your tenants choose deposit replacement you will be protected for up to 5 weeks’ of rent value. We collect the subscription payments each month and, if you require our resolution services, we will directly pay you the awarded settlement amount.

Attract financially secure tenants

An empty home is the most expensive risk for a landlord. Our deposit replacement puts a tenant’s money back into their pocket which means they are more financially resilient to react to and recover from life’s challenges.

How does it work?

Moving in a new tenant

Step 1

Reference

All tenants that are offered a deposit replacement must meet our minimum referencing criteria. You should keep the evidence of your checks as we may ask to see them.

Step 2

Invite tenant

From your portal you add the property and tenancy details. You then invite your referenced tenants who complete the process by setting up their membership.

Step 3

Inventory/Check In Report

On “move in day” make sure you create an inventory and conduct a check-in report detailing the condition of the property. These documents are fundamental for a smooth exit at the end of the tenancy.

When your tenant moves out

Step 1

End the membership

When you know the tenancy is ending you can log into your portal to start the end of your tenant’s membership. Your tenant can also start this step.

Step 2

Confirmation

We will request your tenant confirm that they will be leaving the property. If your tenant started this process you will be invited to confirm.

Step 3

Check-Out

When your tenant moves out you should conduct a Check-Out report. These documents will identify any changes in condition of the property and will be compared against the Inventory and Check-In report to identify any settlements your tenant may owe you.

Step 4

Settle

After assessing the Check-Out report you may request settlements from your tenant – just like you would request to make deductions from a cash deposit. It is your tenant’s responsibility to settle these requests. If a settlement cannot be agreed you can escalate the request to our Resolution Team to assess the evidence and determine a value.
