Claiming a rent deposit or rent in advance
You can only apply for an advance if you:
- are homeless
- threatened with homelessness
- have a housing need and you have already seen a member of the Homeless Prevention or Housing Solutions Team
When you cannot apply
You will not qualify for help with a deposit or rent in advance if:
- you have already moved into your property or have already signed a tenancy agreement - you should not make arrangements to move until the application has been decided
- we decide that the property is unaffordable for you or you have sufficient income or savings to pay for this yourself
How to apply
You'll need to provide:
- full name
- full address
- contact details
- brief reason why you require assistance
