Can I use my deposit as the last month’s rent?
Absolutely not. Your deposit is held in a Deposit Scheme under recently introduced government legislation and cannot be used as a rent payment. It may affect your reference if you fail to pay the final months rent and could also result in legal action being taken against you.

Replacement keys are available at £5 each (subject to a minimum £20) although some specialist keys may cost more. Please let us know immediately if keys have been lost. We reserve the right to have the locks changed and charged to you if keys have been lost.
