Rent without a deposit
Rent deposit made simple — No more unnecessary cash lock-up!
For a modest annual premium, the landlord receives a rent deposit certificate that guarantees the deposit agreed in the tenancy contract. This means no money is tied up at the bank and the tenant remains liquid. Landlords benefit from the full protection of a deposit account and can rely on the expertise of goCaution and ProTect insurance.
goCaution can be used in three ways
When moving into a new home
To release an existing bank deposit
When switching deposit provider
