                What is the holding deposit and when is it paid?<\/strong>
                A holding deposit of \u00a3150 is required when the application is completed to secure the booking.
                This amount is credited against the first rent instalment and will appear on the payment system as \u201cHolding Deposit.\u201d<\/p>

                Once the Tenancy Agreement has been countersigned, both the tenant and guarantor (if applicable) are fully committed to the contract and all payment obligations stated within it.<\/p>


                <\/p>

                Subsequent instalments are due on the dates listed in the Tenancy Agreement.<\/p>

                If you receive accommodation funding via a monthly bursary, you may request to pay your rent in monthly instalments.
