Unipol are required to place any deposit taken when signing a tenancy with a government-authorised scheme, which safeguards the money and offers independent adjudication in the event of any dispute. Tenants who have kept their rented property in good condition can be confident that they will not have all or part of their deposit withheld on spurious grounds.

Unipol tenants in shared student accommodation do not pay a deposit

Unipol Family Tenants 

Family Tenants pay £500.00 deposit at the time of signing a contract which forms part of the agreement with us. This money is then held and protected by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) until the tenancy ends. Tenants are contacted by the TDS via email to setup an account with them to manage their deposit and how it is returned.

Tenants can download a useful leaflet on the Tenancy Deposit Custodial Scheme giving important information on the scheme and what it means for them.
