Support for fee-based deposit schemes like Reposit

Jason Payne 2 years ago 0

Reposit is a fee-based scheme that allows a tenant to not pay a deposit. It is effectively insurance, but that's not the same as insurance-based deposits (that LV does support) which is of course where the landlord holds the tenant's deposit.

Tenants being offered this option (e.g., all tenants using OpenRent where this option is offered) are taking it up.

There is no viable option for this in the list of deposit schemes available when creating a tenancy. Support for this type of scheme should be added.

The difference to other schemes is that it would not include the deposit liability account, deposit due amount, or historical deposit fields. Only the deposit organisation and date would apply.
