Help with rent deposits
The Knowsley Bond Scheme gives your landlord a bond to guarantee that damages or loss of rent are covered.
The arrangement lasts for 12 months from the start of your tenancy. After this, your landlord may choose whether to renew your tenancy without a bond or cash deposit.
If they do require a deposit, the bond scheme can help you arrange this and give advice about the deposit protection schemes.
You may be eligible for a bond if you’re at risk of losing your home, live in an overcrowded property and are living in Knowsley or have done so recently.
