How it works

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, landlords and agents are limited in what they can charge using the following caps:

  • Holding Deposit: Capped at 1 week's rent.
  • Security Deposit: Capped at 5 weeks' rent (if annual rent is less than £50,000) or 6 weeks' rent (if £50,000 or more).

Don't calculate this manually every time.

TenantBrain tracks this automatically for your portfolio, keeping you compliant and stress-free.
