In the case of a disagreement between you and your landlord, an independent government-authorised dispute resolution provider will decide on the case. These are handled quickly and fairly to ensure a seamless check-out process. Raising a dispute costs £25 (plus VAT), but we’ll refund this once your dispute is found to have been made in good faith.

Your landlord will simply add the new tenant as a flatfair member – at no extra cost to you.

Yes. When you leave your apartment, you’re fully liable to cover the cost of any damages or unpaid rent as outlined in your tenancy agreement, save for wear and tear.

As with a traditional deposit at the end of your stay with us, your landlord has the right to raise charges or release you with nothing to pay.

Tenants who stick to their rental obligations build up a strong flatscore and benefit from a range of future discounts.

Yes, all Flatfair members must meet our minimum referencing criteria which is broadly in line with lettings agency standard referencing.

Flatfair’s security expires in line with when you move out. It can be extended at any time through the Flatfair platform, free of charge.

There are no early termination charges to Flatfair if you move out earlier than expected. However, if you need to leave without giving two months' notice, it is important that you speak to the on-site Community Host Team to discuss this with them directly.

Flatfair can simply convert your deposit into a Flatfair membership and return the original deposit amount (Subject to agreement by the landlord).

Flatfair’s No Deposit is a simple and safe alternative to traditional deposits. Instead of paying a large upfront deposit, tenants pay a small, non-refundable check-in fee of one week’s rent plus VAT.

For example, if two tenants, Josh and Emma, are sharing an apartment, they would join Flatfair (subject to referencing) and split the check-in fee between them.

Whilst removing the need for expensive deposits that often overlap between tenancies, Flatfair also provide an easier, fairer way to pay for – or dispute – move-out charges made by your landlord.

Stay as long as you like on a rolling periodic tenancy. No fixed end date - just give us 2 months' notice when you're ready to move.

• Holding Deposit: A holding deposit is taken once you are ready to reserve your apartment. This is later allocated towards the first month's rental.
