Finally, affordable renting for all tenants
Moving home is stressful enough, funding your move doesn't have to be! Husmus members get to say goodbye to upfront cash deposits.
How much could you save?
My max rent budget is
£600
Per month
My Husmus rating is 5 stars. Instead of paying a maximum cash deposit of £692, I'll pay a once per tenancy fee of £69 to join Deposit Promise.
What could you do with £5.2 billion?
That's how much is currently locked up in UK deposit schemes. Shocking right? It's your money... Well, some of it is. If you'd rather not lock it away for years in a rent deposit scheme, then don't. We'll cover your deposit with a low cost insurance, so you can spend your money on what really matters to you.

FAQs
Why are there different prices?
Our Deposit Promise members get personalised prices based on their rental behaviour. So if you have a history of great rental behaviour, (which generally means that you pay your rent and don't cause damages), you will get the best price! Our 5 star tenants only pay 10% of their maximum cash deposit. So if your maximum cash deposit is £1,000, 5 star tenants will pay £100
How do I qualify for deposit promise?
First create an account and then get an assessment. It takes about 24 hours to get your rating and pricing.
What happens if my landlord insists on a cash deposit?
It is ultimately your landlord's choice. Share the information we've created to help you explain what your membership means for them. If your landlord still does not agree, you could either search for a more open-minded landlord or pay the cash deposit.
What if I disagree with my landlord's claims?
That's OK. You will need to tell our adjudicators why and provide any evidence you have. They will then assess both sides and come to a conclusion. Don't worry, our adjudicators also work for the main Government deposit schemes and so are very experienced and fair.
