Deposit Guarantees

Most private landlords require a month's rent in advance and a deposit equivalent to a month's rent.

In place of a cash deposit CHAT can guarantee the deposit on your behalf, if the landlord is happy to accept this. We only offer this facility for tenancies in the Mid-Devon district.

We can assist you in applying for help with the first month's rent.

A Guarantee Agreement is signed by you (the tenant), the landlord and CHAT and this can be renewed after six months.

As your commitment to the scheme we expect you to participate in our Deposit Savings Scheme. This enables you to gradually save towards your own cash deposit so eventually you no longer need the CHAT Deposit Guarantee.
