Once you have found a suitable property through DOMVS, a Holding Deposit equivalent to one weeks rent will be payable to reserve the property. This fee will be withheld if any tenant or Guarantor withdraws from the tenancy, fails the right-to-rent check, provides false or misleading information or, fail to sign the tenancy agreement or deed of guarantee within 15 calendar days or any other deadline for agreement as mutually agreed in writing.
Deposits
A Deposit will be required (usually equivalent to five weeks rent) this is to cover any damages or defaults caused by the tenant during the tenancy. The deposit will be payable prior to the commencement of the tenancy and is held for the duration of the tenancy. The deposit will be registered with the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) www.depositprotection.com, within 30 days of the commencement of the tenancy, or receipt of the deposit whichever is earlier.
