Rent Deposit Scheme

Nextstep is a professional housing service delivered by the YMCA, housing individuals and couples aged 18+ with private rented accommodation.

•       You cannot raise a deposit
•       You have difficulties finding suitable accommodation   
•       You are struggling to find a landlord   
•       You are in housing need.

Nextstep can offer you 

•        A free service
•        A guarantee deposit bond in place of a cash deposit to your landlord
•        Assistance with all tenancy paperwork
•        Direct liaison with your landlord
•        Assistance with finding accommodation and visiting properties
•        Support and advice throughout your tenancy
•        If required, assistance with applying for and monitoring housing benefit claims.
