Permitted Payments

What tenants pay

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, the payments a landlord or agent can require from a tenant are strictly limited. The following is our complete schedule of permitted tenant payments.

Holding Deposit
Maximum 1 week's rent
Paid to reserve the property while referencing is completed. Deducted from your first month's rent on successful completion. Held for a maximum of 15 calendar days (or agreed extended deadline).
Security Deposit (under £50k p.a. rent)
Maximum 5 weeks' rent
Held throughout the tenancy and protected in a government-approved scheme (TDS). Returned at the end of the tenancy less any agreed deductions for damage or unpaid rent.
Security Deposit (£50k+ p.a. rent)
Maximum 6 weeks' rent
The same terms as above apply. The higher cap reflects higher-value tenancies. All deposits are registered with a government-approved deposit protection scheme.
Rent
As agreed in tenancy agreement
Monthly rent as stated in the tenancy agreement. Green & Co collect rent on the due date by standing order and remit to the landlord promptly.
Changes to Tenancy (tenant request)
£50 inc. VAT per change
Where a tenant requests a variation to the tenancy agreement (e.g. change of occupant), a fee of £50 inc. VAT is chargeable, or the landlord's reasonable costs if higher.
Early Surrender (tenant request)
Landlord's reasonable losses
If a tenant wishes to leave before the end of a fixed term, they may be liable for the landlord's re-letting costs and any period of rental loss — up to the end of the original term.
