What is a holding deposit?

1 Minute read, Published: May 1, 2025

A holding deposit, equal to one week’s rent, shows your serious interest in a property. We notify the landlord immediately, who then decides whether to proceed. If they accept, we encourage the Landlord to start the application process, removing the listing and starting referencing and contract arrangements. If declined, you’ll receive a full refund. Remember, this is a deposit, not a fee.
