Here's what our tenants have to say:

flatfair is a great idea. Instead of shelling out on a big deposit that is essentially money I'll never see as it moves from deposit to deposit, I can use it to invest and save for my own place.

Hassle free, quick & uncomplicated. The service took away the stress & challenge of paying a deposit allowing me to move in faster. Excellent all round!

Jason, flatfair tenant

introduce-flatfair-01

We chose flatfair because it allowed us to move into a house we really wanted, quicker and more affordably. We were young and had never been in a situation like that before so it made our renting experience a breeze. We'll be forever grateful as it was because of flatfair we could move out from our parents house and start living our own lives.

Landlord FAQs

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 of 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.

What are the benefits of No Deposit?

With No Deposit, any tenant charges are recovered and paid to the landlord once charges are agreed. Landlords also get up to 5 extra weeks of protection compared to a security deposit and reduce move-in costs for tenants, which means much quicker move-ins.

How much does No Deposit cost?

It's completely free for landlords. For tenants, we charge a small check-in fee of 28% of a month's rent or £120 (whichever is the greater), plus VAT, split evenly across the household.

What if my tenant doesn't accept charges made against them?

If a dispute arises, it can be resolved quickly and fairly with independent adjudicators who have extensive experience in handling end-of-tenancy disputes.

Does flatfair require tenants to be referenced?

Yes, all flatfair members must meet our minimum referencing criteria.

Is flatfair insurance?

No. Our award-winning rental solutions company isn’t insurance – it’s something better. We’re discretionary, so we judge every case based on its individual merit as well as our clear and transparent terms and conditions. That means we can avoid rigid policy checklists and keep things flexible. It also means we can process charge recoveries more quickly, so landlords can rest easy knowing their rental is in safe and secure hands.
