Salford Rental Bond Scheme

Have you found a place to live but can't afford the rent in advance or a deposit? If the answer is yes then maybe we can help!

The aim of the scheme is to provide assistance to people who can't afford to pay cash deposits.

By granting a non-cash deposits in the form of a written bond guarantee, we can provide people looking for a home with access to private accommodation in Salford with landlords whose properties meet the standards of the landlord Accreditation Scheme. Landlords registered on this scheme agree to operate according to our good practice Code of Standards.

• are over 18 years old
• are homeless or going to become homeless
