What tenants can be asked to pay
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, tenants can only be asked for these payments. Tenants pay nothing else to rent a home.
- Rent, once the tenancy agreement has been signed – at most one month in advance
- A refundable holding deposit, capped at one week's rent
- A refundable tenancy deposit, capped at five weeks' rent where the annual rent is under £50,000, protected with the Deposit Protection Service (DPS)
- A change to the tenancy that the tenant asks for: £50, or more only if our reasonable costs are higher, with proof
- A payment if the tenant leaves without giving the correct notice, capped at the rent due for the notice period
- Interest on rent 14 or more days late, at no more than 3% above the Bank of England base rate, only if the tenancy agreement says so
- Replacing a lost key or security device: our reasonable cost, shown to the tenant in writing
- Utilities, communication services, TV licence and council tax, where the tenancy says the tenant pays them
