Bond Loan and Rental Grant application
A Bond Loan is an interest-free loan to cover your rental bond when moving into private rental accommodation. The loan is up to a maximum of 4 weeks rent, and must be repaid.
A Rental Grant is a one-off grant of 2 weeks rent – it helps people in housing crisis to move into private rental housing. A Rental Grant is paid directly to your agent or lessor (landlord) after the tenancy starts.
