flatfair solves an affordability problem by offering alternative to rental deposit to millions of tenants in the UK. Instead of locking away a hefty tenancy deposit, tenants pay flatfair only a small fee (the flatbond). In exchange, landlords get up to double the usual protection compared to the usual deposit. The flatbond is a market entry product, we intend to build a platform that will be at the center of renting experience.
