More protection.
Less hassle.
Meet Reposit.
Give your tenants a choice beyond the traditional cash deposit, while benefiting from up to eight weeks’ rent cover at no cost to you.
Why landlords choose Reposit
Up to 8 weeks’ cover
Protection of up to eight weeks’ rent for eligible end-of-tenancy charges, compared with the usual five-week cash deposit cap for many tenancies.
No charge to landlords
Reposit says there is no cost for landlords to use its service, helping you offer tenants more flexibility.
Appeal to more tenants
A lower upfront payment option may make your property more attractive to applicants who prefer not to tie up a cash deposit.
How does Reposit work?
Your tenant is offered a choice between a traditional cash deposit and Reposit. The deposit alternative must never be compulsory.
If eligible and interested, the tenant selects Reposit and completes the required registration.
The tenant pays the Reposit fee, usually equivalent to one week’s rent, subject to a £150 minimum. Once all requirements are completed, cover is activated.
If there are legitimate outstanding charges, you or your agent submit the claim and evidence through Reposit’s process, subject to the policy terms and cover limit.
What does it mean for your tenants?
Instead of paying a traditional cash deposit, tenants who voluntarily choose Reposit pay a non-refundable fee equivalent to one week’s rent, subject to a £150 minimum. A £30 annual fee applies, shared between tenants.
Crucially, this is not a deposit. Tenants remain responsible for any lawful end-of-tenancy charges. A traditional deposit must remain an available alternative.
Can existing tenants switch?
Yes! Reposit Switch allows eligible existing tenants to replace their traditional cash deposit with Reposit, subject to the landlord and tenants agreeing, product eligibility and the applicable tenancy arrangements. This may allow tenants to receive their protected cash deposit back after the switch is completed.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reposit compulsory for tenants?
No. Tenants must have a genuine choice between Reposit and a traditional cash deposit. Reposit cannot be imposed as a condition of renting.
How much protection does a landlord receive?
Reposit advertises cover of up to eight weeks’ rent, subject to its terms, eligibility requirements, evidence and claims process. The cover is calculated using the rent recorded when the Reposit starts.
Does Reposit cost landlords anything?
Reposit states that its service is free for landlords.
Is the tenant’s Reposit fee refundable?
No. It is generally a non-refundable product fee, not a cash deposit. Separate cancellation rights may apply before the tenancy begins.
Can a landlord claim for damage or rent arrears?
Potentially, yes. Eligible claims can include damage, cleaning and rent arrears, provided the supporting evidence and Reposit’s conditions are satisfied.
Can my existing tenant change from a cash deposit to Reposit?
Eligible tenants may be able to use Reposit Switch with the landlord’s agreement. The existing deposit must be dealt with correctly under the applicable deposit protection rules.
