What upfront payments are required before move-in?

Before you move into The Store House, there are a few payments you may need to make as part of the booking and tenancy process.

Typically, these include:

• £250 holding fee – this is paid to secure your room and is deducted from your first rent payment.
• £250 tenancy deposit – this is payable as part of setting up your tenancy.
• Any rent payments due before arrival – depending on your payment arrangements, you may need to make a rent payment before your move-in date.

What is the £250 holding fee?

The £250 holding fee is paid when you secure your accommodation. This amount is then deducted from your first rent payment, so it isn't an additional amount on top of your total rent.

What is the £250 tenancy deposit?

The £250 tenancy deposit is separate from the holding fee and forms part of the tenancy arrangements.

Will I need to pay rent before I move in?

This depends on your agreed payment arrangements. If a rent payment is due before your move-in date, you'll need to make sure it's paid by the required date.

The team will provide you with details of the payments that apply to your tenancy and when they're due.

Helpful tip

Keep track of your payment dates before move-in and make sure you understand which payments are refundable, deducted from rent, or form part of your tenancy arrangements. If you're unsure about any payment, speak to the The Store House team before making it.
