What are the main benefits of NDO for tenants? “Under the traditional deposit scheme, tenants often delay moves in order to save up the upfront deposit. Not only does this often delay moves but, it can also make moving from one rental property into another increasingly difficult, as the deposit for the new property is often required before the deposit from the existing property has been released. With deposit free renting, this is no longer an issue” explains Allison Thompson, Lettings Managing Director at Leaders. "Currently, rental payments don’t positively impact a tenant’s credit history even though rent is often the largest regular payment many tenants make. In exchange for the small monthly fee, Leaders’ tenants will benefit from Experian tracking their rental payments to ensure those who pay in full and on time, see a positive impact on their statutory Credit Report."

When piloting this new product, many landlords asked the same two questions; “How can there be no deposit?” and, “What happens if the tenant damages my property?” Landlords can rest assured that, properties marketed under the zero deposit option scheme will be indemnified by Leaders for the equivalent of 7 weeks’ rent – that’s 40% more protection than the standard 5-week deposit. If there are damages at the end of the tenancy, we will liaise with the tenant during the check-out process to ensure any issues are rectified before the next tenancy begins. It’s a win-win, tenants only pay for the work that’s needed and landlords have the peace of mind that repairs are being taken care of.

Disclaimer: Leaders' No Deposit Option (NDO) is part of The Residency membership. With the zero deposit renting option the tenant can pay the monthly membership fee without the need to have the traditional deposit amount tied up for the duration of the tenancy. The tenant will still be liable for any damages at the end of the tenancy and there is a monthly fee to be a Residency member. Both the landlord and the tenant need to agree to the No Deposit Option. * Subject to approval. FIND YOUR NEXT HOME!
