Landlords! You Spoke, We Listened

We understand that landlords often feel exposed by the 5-week deposit cap, which frequently doesn’t cover all tenancy-related costs, such as rent arrears or property damages. This gap leaves landlords at financial risk. Once the deposit’s gone, they’re stuck chasing tenants directly for the rest: time-consuming, awkward, and very rarely successful.

We already support landlords through our end-of-tenancy protection service with our popular No Deposit product, so we’ve developed Deposit Boost - an additional protection service for landlords who have a traditional deposit in place. Secured with a one-off fee of 20% of a month's rent for complete peace of mind.

See what our Landlords have to say...

I have been having considerable issues with receiving the payout of my RLP insurance claim due to the gross incompetence of a well known property management company managing my apartment and who are meant to be dealing with the case. (I would love to name and shame them so they can be avoided but I cannot.) This has resulted in a considerable delay and a lot of stress. Dean at flatfair has been assisting me greatly and has been doing his best to resolve the issue as to what flatfair can do as regards their obligations by liaising with the agent to find a resolution and regularly keeping me up to date. He has also been patiently answering my queries. I can only say that his outstanding professionalism and efforts put the agent to shame. Dean, you are a great credit to flatfair. I cannot thank you enough for your all your efforts and assistance.

John Stephens, Landlord | May 2025

I posted a 5-star review for flatfair on Trustpilot because I found their service very good and clear. I can’t fault the information they sent or their website. I’m surprised I’ve not encountered them before as it seems such a better arrangement than the usual deposit schemes. Many thanks for all your help.

FAQ's

Why is flatfair offering Deposit Boost?

The 5-week deposit cap often leaves landlords financially vulnerable. Deposit Boost is designed to provide additional protection for tenancy-related charges like damages and rent arrears while staying compliant with UK legislation.

What does Deposit Boost cost?

The service involves a flat, non-refundable fee of 20% of a month’s rent.

Who can I speak to if I have more questions?

Our support team is here to assist you. Reach out via Emma Parsons emma.parsons@flatfair.co.uk or call us on 0207 078 4883

Do tenants need to be involved?

No, tenants do not need to opt in. Deposit Boost is activated solely by the landlord. Tenants are only informed if additional charges are raised after the tenancy ends.

How do I sign up for Deposit Boost?

Signing up is simple: complete the online application and pay the fee. Once activated, the service is ready to protect your property.

Does Deposit Boost work if i have RLP?

RA is not appropriate for RLP cases where RLP will have been based on the deposit use. Speak to us for more information on this.

What is flatfair's No Deposit?

flatfair No Deposit is the simple and safe alternative to security deposits. Instead, tenants pay a small check-in fee worth only 28% of a month's rent or £120 (whichever is the greater), plus VAT, split evenly across the household, as well as any damage costs or missing rent being paid for when it's time to move out. flatfair helps landlords and tenants settle any disputes quickly and fairly with Independent Dispute Resolution, with charges recovered and paid to landlords once charges are agreed.
