Not all Flow Student properties require a security deposit. The payment required when you book depends on the property you choose.

Security deposit properties
If you are booking at Truro Works, Park Village, The Moor or Clanny House, you will be required to pay a £150 security deposit as part of the booking process. This is the only payment required at the point of booking. Once your booking is complete, your deposit will be protected in a registered Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme.

All other Flow Student properties
You do not pay a security deposit. Instead, an advance rent payment is required as part of completing your booking. This is not a deposit or an additional charge – it is deducted from your first rent instalment.

At all Flow Student properties, charges may still apply for things such as damage, lost keys or other breaches of your tenancy agreement. Any charges will be handled in accordance with the terms and conditions of your tenancy.
