Home Finder Deposit Guarantee Scheme
If you want to rent a home from a private landlord, but you cannot afford the deposit, the Home Finder Deposit Guarantee Scheme can help you to rent privately and remove the burden of finding a lump sum cash deposit up front.
Instead of you raising the cash for a rent deposit we give landlords, who choose to participate in the Home Finder Deposit Guarantee Scheme, a Deposit Guarantee Certificate.
Find out what the benefits of the Home Finder Deposit Guarantee Scheme are, how long the guarantee is for, what it covers and if you can claim housing benefit with this scheme.
How to apply for the Home Finder Deposit Scheme from finding a home and a landlord who is interested in the scheme to getting a Home Finder Deposit Scheme certificate.
The Home Finder Deposit Guarantee Scheme is intended for single people and couples without children who live or work in Lambeth and who have a housing need.
