Who can use flatfair No Deposit?

No Deposit is available only where the agent or landlord offers it and the tenancy and household meet flatfair's current eligibility requirements. Your agent creates the plan and confirms whether No Deposit is available for your tenancy.

What is normally checked?

The checks can include:

• the country, property and type of private residential tenancy;
• the rent and each tenant's share of the rent;
• identity and any legally required right-to-rent check;
• income, affordability and referencing information;
• whether an acceptable personal guarantor is needed;
• the people named as tenants and any permitted occupiers; and
• whether the tenancy has started or has existing arrears or reported damage.

Can students or international tenants use No Deposit?

Yes. A student, an international tenant or a person without standard UK income may be asked for different evidence or an acceptable guarantor. Being in one of these groups does not by itself confirm or prevent eligibility.

Does a reference decide whether I can rent the property?

No. A referencing provider supplies information and a result to the agent. The agent or landlord makes the tenancy decision. No Deposit eligibility is a separate product decision and may require the agent to complete additional steps.

How can I confirm that I am eligible?

1. Complete the reference and provide accurate information promptly.
2. Ask the agent whether the whole household and tenancy meet the current No Deposit criteria.
3. Check every detail in the No Deposit invitation before completing payment.
