The following are permitted payments which we may request from you:

a) The rent
b) A refundable tenancy deposit (reserved for any damages or defaults on the part of the tenant) capped at no more than five weeks' rent where the annual rent is less than £50,000, or six weeks' rent where the total annual rent is £50,000 or above. To calculate this, please multiply the monthly rent by 12 and then divide this sum by 52 to get your weekly rent. You can then multiply this by 5 or 6 weeks, depending what category you fall into above
c) A refundable holding deposit (to reserve a property) capped at no more than one week's rent. To calculate the weekly rent, please multiply the monthly rent by 12 and then divide this sum by 52
