How can I modify the deposit of my properties?
If you wish to change the deposit of your property listing, you can do so directly in the Listings section of the Landlord Panel.
Step One - Find the listing you want to edit. The easiest way to do this is using the “Quick Find” search engine at the top of the page and search by address.
Step Two - Once you have found the listing you want to update, click on the "Edit" button on the right side.
Step Three - Select the "Prices" option to open the Prices module
Step Four - You will now be able to edit the deposit of your listings.
You are able to set the deposit using ½ months rent increments upto a maximum of 3 months’ rent (note: in London the maximum deposit permitted is 1.5 months rent).
You can also choose the following options:
No deposit required - Select this option when you do not want to include a security deposit
Fixed amount - This option can be used if you want to set a fixed deposit amount in the local currency where the property is located. If you choose this deposit type, the amount of the deposit must not exceed the equivalent to 3 months’ rent (or 1.5 months in London).
