Why tenants choose it
Skip the Deposit is a genuine insurance-backed replacement. Your savings stay yours from day one.
Pay a small fee instead of tying up five weeks’ rent and keep your savings working for you.
Our insurer carries 100% of the deposit risk. You will not be pursued for costs after a claim.
AI-assisted triage and a dedicated UK claims team typically resolve issues within 24 hours to 7 days.
This is not a guarantee scheme. It is genuine insurance, protecting both you and your landlord clearly and simply.
What makes us different
With Skip the Deposit, valid claims are paid by the insurer. You do not face post-tenancy repayment chasing after an agreed claim.
