flatfair

Founded in 2017, flatfair is a payment technology company that aims to make renting more affordable and accessible. It provides an alternative to traditional tenancy deposits by allowing tenants to pay a one-off, non-refundable check-in fee (typically equivalent to one week's rent) instead of a large upfront deposit. This service, called 'No Deposit', provides landlords with up to 12 weeks' worth of protection against damages or unpaid rent. The company is an Appointed Representative regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for insurance distribution activities, partnering with letting agents and landlords across the UK.
