Levi is a fantastic account manager - Shes makes the process as easy as possible for my team and is always on hand when we need her. Hybr and the team have provided us with excellent support when needed and continue to help us fill our student properties.

Extremely Unfair Experience With Reposit, TENANTS BEWARE! PLEASE NOTE: If you experience the same unfairness that I did, I STRONGLY recommend reporting it to the Property Ombudsman and relevant Redress Scheme. These bodies investigate procedural unfairness, and the only way companies are held accountable is when tenants file complaints. It doesn’t change your individual outcome, but it helps expose patterns of tenant mistreatment and can lead to systemic change. I used Reposit instead of a traditional deposit scheme because my landlord required it, and my experience has been extremely disappointing and unfair. Despite providing clear, time-stamped video evidence, a key return form signed by staff, email proof I reported and fixed smoke alarm issues, and proof I requested a checkout inspection five times, Reposit’s adjudication process ignored almost all my evidence. Their rules only accept landlord-produced “checkout reports” and treat tenant videos and photos as “unverified”, which means the system is stacked in favour of landlords. Even when the landlord ignored all of my checkout inspection requests, the adjudicator still relied solely on the landlord’s documents. The process did not feel impartial or balanced. As a tenant, I felt dismissed, powerless, and unfairly penalised despite acting in good faith throughout my tenancy. Also, a major RED FLAG appeared even before the decision was made: Reposit emailed me telling me to “prepare to pay” the landlord’s charges and outlining in detail the maximum amount I could owe. The tone of that message felt heavily landlord-favouring, especially since it didn’t mention anything about what would happen if my evidence was stronger or if I was not liable. At the time, this made me worry the process was not as neutral as advertised, and unfortunately the adjudication outcome confirmed those concerns (see the pictures attached of that email). I strongly advise tenants to be CAUTIOUS: Reposit is a private company, NOT a government deposit scheme, and their adjudication rules heavily favour landlords. If you are required to use Reposit, document EVERYTHING and be aware that your own evidence may not be even considered. REMEMBER, Reposit is not a government scheme. It is a for-profit private business, backed by investors. Its financial model depends on: charging tenants a fee instead of a deposit, charging landlords a subscription, protecting landlords against loss. Landlords choose Reposit, they bring business paying for Reposit subscriptions, tenants only pay once, so Reposit doesn’t need to keep them happy. This means there is a commercial incentive to keep landlords satisfied so they keep choosing Reposit for future properties. This creates a structural bias, even if nobody explicitly says “favour the landlord”. The entire system is built in a way that structurally benefits landlords, the rules make it easier for them to win disputes and tenants’ evidence is often treated more strictly, and “technicalities” favour their clients. Reposit is not motivated to highlight tenant-friendly outcomes. So, saying this they have their own commercial interests, and now I understand why many landlords and agents encourage tenants to opt for the Reposit option, as they can make charges up because they know they have won the battle if you fall in the trap of choosing this company over a traditional deposit scheme. Oh and the £60 they charge for a "dispute" is a complete SCAM and smoking mirror, making you believe they're impartial, because they already know they have to keep their client (landlord) happy and all your evidence is going to be automatically dismissed, so say goodbye to your "refundable" £60 too. They are not neutral in the same way government-backed schemes are.

Hi Laura, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you feel let down by the process and that it caused you frustration after your tenancy ended. We never want any customer, tenant or landlord, to feel dismissed or unheard. **We would like to clarify how our adjudication process works** Reposit’s adjudications are carried out by independent, professionally accredited adjudicators. They apply the same evidence standards that are used across the wider deposits industry, including government-approved deposit schemes. Landlord-provided check-in and check-out reports are generally considered primary evidence only because they are created by an independent third party at the start and end of the tenancy. However, tenant-submitted photos, videos, and correspondence can and do form part of the evidence considered when relevant and verifiable. We are sorry if you felt your evidence was not given appropriate weight. We would never intentionally disregard information provided by a tenant, and we take concerns about perceived imbalance very seriously. **Regarding the email you received before the adjudication decision** We appreciate how the wording could have caused concern. That message is part of an automated pre-decision process designed to outline all the possible outcomes, including potential charges if the adjudicator finds in favour of the landlord. It is not intended to imply the result has been predetermined. Based on your feedback, we will review this communication to ensure it is clearer, more neutral, and less distressing for tenants. **We want to investigate your case fully** While we cannot discuss case details publicly, we would really appreciate the chance to review your file to understand exactly what happened and whether any processes need improvement. If you are willing, please contact us at hello@reposit.co.uk with your details so our senior resolutions team can personally re-examine the matter. **Your feedback matters** We take every complaint seriously, and we continuously review our adjudication guidelines, communications, and service quality to make sure tenants and landlords are treated fairly. Input like yours helps us improve. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope you’ll allow us the opportunity to look into this further for you.

Would do 0 stars if I could, absolute scam of a company, paid an annual fee to use it then when my tenancy ended they are asking me to pay a £60 formal dispute fee because my landlord is trying to scam me for charges, Never ever use this company total sham

Joseph · 14 July 2026

Agent replied · 17 June 2026

Hi Joe, We understand how frustrating it can be to receive end-of-tenancy charges, particularly when you feel they are unfair. However, we'd like to clarify a few points about how Reposit works. Reposit is an alternative to a traditional cash deposit, rather than a deposit itself. As such, landlords and agents remain responsible for assessing any end-of-tenancy charges and proposing claims based on the condition of the property, just as they would under a traditional deposit arrangement. Reposit does not determine, approve or set these charges. We always recommend that tenants take the time to review how Reposit works before choosing it as their deposit alternative, including the terms and conditions that explain the dispute process and any associated fees. When a tenant wishes to formally challenge a charge, Reposit provides access to an independent adjudication service. The £60 dispute fee is clearly outlined within our terms and conditions and helps cover the cost of the independent review. Importantly, this fee is fully refundable if the adjudicator rules in the resident's favour. As the adjudication process is independent, Reposit cannot influence the outcome or dismiss charges on behalf of either party. The purpose of the service is to ensure disputes are assessed fairly and impartially based on the evidence provided. We appreciate that this experience has not met your expectations, and we're sorry that you felt unsupported during the process. Customer feedback is important to us, and we'd welcome the opportunity to review your experience further. If you'd be willing to contact our support team on hello@reposit.co.uk with your tenancy details, we'd be happy to look into the matter. Kind regards Reposit Customer Support Team

Do not use this company for anything. There is no contact telephone number and they take ages to get back to you. The whole claims process is an absolute nightmare, never again!

Absolutely disgusting company, HMO was compromised was there 4 days, stolen property and compromised bank accounts, trying to claim £1,000 from me for leaving a HMO that was advertised as a professional dwelling, No smoking, drug use in the communal areas, smoking, threats via social media of locals wanting to burn down the building. Taking those people to court for violation of privacy and breaking trust.

Good Morning Mark, Thank you for your review. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we value all reviews relating to our service, it appears your comments refer to your tenancy which is not managed by Reposit. To clarify, Reposit is a deposit alternative provider. We give tenants the option to pay a non-refundable fee instead of the traditional five-week cash deposit. We are not involved in the management or maintenance of your tenancy. If your experience relates to another company, such as your letting agent, we recommend leaving your review on their Google page. Alternatively, if your review was intended to reflect your experience with Reposit, we’d welcome you to amend it accordingly. Kind regards, Reposit Customer Support Team

I would really like to put in a deposit for a flat I saw online with this company but I cannot get a hold of anybody for the life of me, no email, phone, I put a viewing in with the website and all. Writing this review in hopes of actually hearing something back because I don’t want to let this place go.

Thank you so much for reaching out, and I'm really sorry you had trouble getting hold of us, I can imagine how frustrating that must have been, especially when you're keen on a property. I'm pleased to say we've now gotten in touch with you and connected you directly with the agent advertising. Hopefully it's the right fit for you! If for any reason it's not, or if you need any further help, just let our team know and we'll be happy to assist you with other options. Again, apologies for the delay on our end. Best of luck with the viewing! Kind regards, Idnaan Head of Account Management

Stay far away. seems like a great idea but when your tenany ends, landlord can put any high amount and you'll be liable. Very aggressive and dodgy in getting the money with zero empathy

Hammy · 24 August 2026

Agent replied · 25 August 2026

Good Morning Hammy, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way. Reposit does not allow landlords or agents to simply decide that a tenant is liable for charges without an opportunity to respond. Where a tenant disagrees with charges raised at the end of a tenancy, Reposit provides a mediation service through which the tenant can challenge the charges and provide supporting evidence for consideration. We also understand that paying unexpected charges can be difficult, which is why we offer payment options designed to help accommodate a tenant’s individual circumstances where an amount remains due. We note that you have used this option for repayment of the charges. We aim to treat all customers fairly and to provide a clear and impartial process for resolving disagreements between tenants and landlords, and should you like to discuss your payment options further, please reach out to hello@reposit.co.uk. Kind Regards Reposit Customer Support Team

they are a scam, got charged for a full year when we only had 1 month left in the property. Their customer support didn't care. I regret using them and will go out my way to spread the word of their terrible service

Eli · 15 June 2026

Agent replied · 16 June 2026

Hi Eli, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience. Having reviewed your account, we can confirm that the £30 charge was not for a future year of cover. As explained during your conversation with our team, this annual fee became due on the anniversary of your tenancy and related to the 12-month period that had already elapsed while your tenancy remained active. We appreciate that receiving a charge shortly before moving out can be frustrating. However, for tenancies that continue beyond 12 months, the annual fee is payable on each tenancy anniversary in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed to when the Reposit was taken out. Your tenancy had continued beyond the previous anniversary date, which is why the fee was applied. We are sorry that the initial interaction did not meet your expectations, but we do not believe it is fair to suggest that Reposit is a scam. Our team reviewed your query, escalated it to a colleague when requested, and provided an explanation of the charge together with the relevant sections of the terms and conditions. If you would still like us to review your concerns further, please contact us directly and we would be happy to assist. Kind regards, Reposit Customer Support

Grace · 21 July 2026

Agent replied · 30 July 2026

Good Morning Grace, We're sorry to hear about your experience. From your review, it sounds as though your tenancy may have ended because you purchased the property. While we'd need a little more information to review your specific Reposit, it also sounds as though your letting agent or landlord may not have taken the necessary steps to close your Reposit at the end of the tenancy, which could result in standard fees continuing to be requested. We'd like the opportunity to look into this for you and understand exactly what has happened. Please contact us directly at help@reposit.co.uk with your property address or Reposit reference, and our team will be happy to investigate and help resolve this. Kind regards Reposit Custoimer Support Team

PATHETIC RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT AND EXCUSE TO COVER THEIR APPALLING CORRUPT BUSINESS They have responded to my earlier review with a pathetic excuse. The photos I showed of the flat show that the place was uninhabitable from day one! I could not live in this flat so the landlord had a full months rent and a weeks deposit. Yes the landlord had requested a cleaning fee from me of £60 which I have refused obviously!! But Reposit equally demanded £60 to dispute my case which I have said from the outset is unfair and I am not willing to pay anymore for this disgusting property. They are now threatening CCJ’s if I don’t pay the £60. DISGRACEFUL

We joined Reposit and the onboarding process was very easy thanks to the help from Kalan. Kalan has been amazing, he has taken his time to understand our business and how we work. His help and support has been amazing. We would recommend Reposit and Kalan to all landlords and estate agents.

Thank you for your feedback, and I'm really sorry for the frustration you experienced trying to reach us. I completely understand how disappointing that must have been. The property you enquired about had already been let, but the agent hadn't updated the listing yet. We've addressed this with them directly. That said, we should have communicated with you much sooner, that's on us. I'm glad our team has now been in touch to share other available properties and help with your search. We're taking your feedback seriously and working with our agents to make sure this doesn't happen again. If there's anything else we can do to help, please do let us know. Thanks again for giving us the chance to make this right. Best, Idnaan

Scammers! I fled a domestic violence incident 5 years ago, they have now taken charges from me for a previous partners tenancy after my card details were used, I am not on the tenancy, I was not a tenant - I have been hounded via email and recieved threatening texts, it has affected my mental health and I will be taking further action!

Reposit is an okay option for renters who do not have the upfront deposit. However, it feels more like a cash grab in my opinion. If you have the option for a deposit I would suggest going with that over this any day of the week.

These are a contractor to my council to carry out grant funded works. We’re supposed to contact me but after weeks of waiting, I chased them. Booked an appointment and then it’s an hour after they should be here. They are not here. Despite sending reminders urging me to remember they are coming. Seems like they can’t actually remember themselves. If I was making the decisions I would fire this company. Drinking the grant funding but dragging the whole process slower with incompetence.
