HOLDING DEPOSIT

Payment of a holding deposit equivalent to one week’s rent will be required once the Landlord has agreed to proceed with the application. With the Tenant’s written consent, the holding deposit will be “repaid” to the Tenant(s) by allowing the Tenant(s) to deduct the equivalent sum from the first months’ rent payment.

Note, the holding deposit will be withheld if Tenant(s) or Guarantor(s) withdraw from the tenancy, fail a Right-to-Rent check, provide materially significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign their Tenancy Agreement (and/or Guarantor Agreement if applicable) within 15 calendar days of paying the holding deposit (or other Deadline for Agreement as mutually agreed in writing).

INITIAL RENT PAYMENT
