Say goodbye to deposit problems

Looking to rent a home from a private landlord? Most landlords ask for a deposit of several hundred pounds. But what if you can't raise that sort of cash?

That's where RentWise comes in. We're all about matching good tenants with good landlords. Get a home with a RentWise landlord and you don't have to find a cash deposit. We'll give the landlord a 'bond' instead. This is a guarantee up to the value of four week's rent - up to £600 in most cases.

First find a home in a RentWise part of Manchester - see RentWise map. We'll check that it's safe and up to standard. We can give you advice about the tenancy agreement and help you claim the right benefits too. If everything is OK you can move in without paying a deposit.
