A)the rent

b)a refundable tenancy deposit capped at no more than five weeks' rent. This will be held in a Deposit Scheme as security for the performance of all obligations in connection with the tenancy for example in the case of any damage at the end of the tenancy or a charge to an independent company providing a deposit alternative service, if offered.

C)A refundable holding deposit (to reserve a property) capped at no more than one week's rent. Example - equivalent to One Weeks Rent – i.e. £1,000.00 pcm rent equates to £230.76 holding deposit).

•Fail a right to rent check
•Withdraw from the proposed agreement (decide not to let) or

Where we wish to retain the holding deposit, we will set out in writing the reason for this within 7 days of deciding not to enter the agreement or the 'deadline for agreement'.
