Tenancy Deposit Loan

You can request an advance of your salary to assist you with financing a tenancy deposit.

Who is it for?

Staff who have completed at least two month’s service. This scheme is not available to those on leave without pay and overseas staff including LEC’s, Agency staff and Interns. 

What do I get?

Meeting the cost of a deposit can be a barrier when you want to move home. This initiative has been developed by the Department of Communities and Local Government to assist you in meeting this cost through an interest-free and tax-free loan.

It is limited to only cover the cost of your tenancy deposit, and must be repaid over no more than 12 months.
