Can I pay my tenancy deposit in instalments?

We normally ask for the tenancy deposit to be paid in full before move-in. If you need to spread the payment, please ask before agreeing the tenancy. Instalments are not automatically available & any arrangement must be confirmed in writing.

The total deposit cannot exceed the applicable legal limit, even if you pay it in several instalments.

Deposit limits

• England: five weeks’ rent where annual rent is below £50,000, or six weeks where it is £50,000 or more.
• Dublin: no more than one month’s rent.

For England, any deposit money received must be dealt with under the approved scheme’s protection requirements. For Dublin, we will explain the agreed receipt & holding arrangements.

If a holding deposit has already been paid for an English apartment, we may credit it towards your tenancy deposit with your agreement, reducing the remaining amount due.

Please arrange any proposed instalments with us before the stated payment deadline; do not assume a partial payment secures key collection.
