Broken software, unethical billing, terrible support. The product didn't work, they refused to refund, then kept charging me after I cancelled. When I raised my legal rights, their rep Aidan just copy-pasted the same response. Currently disputing with my bank. Avoid.

Avoid - Zero Transparency and Predatory Fees Stay far away from Reposit and opt for a proper government-approved deposit scheme instead. After my tenancy ended, they charged me £400 for alleged cleaning and redecoration costs, yet when I requested proof, receipts, or any breakdown of what this money was actually spent on, they had absolutely nothing to provide. It feels like they simply invent these charges once you've moved out to extract as much money as possible from tenants, with zero accountability or evidence to back up their claims. The dispute process is equally exploitative. To challenge any charges, you have to pay £60 just to submit a message through their website portal. This "pay to complain" model creates a barrier that discourages tenants from disputing bogus fees, making it clear they prioritize profit over fairness. Paying that final amount felt completely wrong given the total lack of transparency. Reposit operates like a scam setup rather than a legitimate deposit protection service. Protect yourself from this stress and potential financial loss by choosing a traditional deposit scheme where your money is actually protected and you don't have to pay extra just to question unfair charges.

Hi Kunal, We’re really sorry to hear that you feel disappointed by your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We’d like to clarify a few points about how Reposit works and how charges and disputes are handled. Reposit is not a deposit protection scheme — it’s an alternative to paying a traditional tenancy deposit, which tenants choose freely when they sign up. Tenants remain responsible for any legitimate end-of-tenancy costs outlined in their tenancy agreement, such as cleaning, damage (beyond fair wear and tear), or unpaid rent. Landlords are required to submit supporting information when raising charges, which we then share with tenants through their Reposit account so they can review and respond. If a tenant disagrees with a charge, there is a structured process to challenge it. This includes the opportunity to propose an alternative settlement directly with the landlord and, if the matter remains unresolved, to refer the dispute to an independent third-party adjudicator. The £60 adjudication fee covers the cost of this independent review and is fully refunded if the adjudicator determines that the dispute is valid and reduces the claim. We take concerns about transparency seriously and want every customer to feel informed and treated fairly. With that in mind, and knowing that we have already discussed the process with you, should you need any further clarification please feel free to reach back out to us. We genuinely value feedback, as it helps us improve our service and ensure our processes remain clear and fair for everyone involved. Kind regards, Reposit Customer Support Team

Scum company. Not sure what the adjudicators do for a living, but some of the move-out charges we were hit with were absolutely extortionate. I’m talking 10x standard rates. We provided loads of evidence — links, screenshots, actual prices showing how much items really cost — and Reposit still sided with the landlord. They’ll “reduce” charges but only down to 5x or 6x the real cost, like that’s reasonable. It honestly feels like landlords and letting agents know exactly how this works and just inflate prices like crazy because they know Reposit will still approve it. £110 for four light bulbs, reduced to £60. Absolute joke. When you dispute the charges, if you put a figure lower than a certain percentage, the system literally suggests you raise it so it’s more likely to be accepted by the landlord. That alone tells you everything. The whole thing is clearly set up in the landlord/agent’s favour. I know at least 10 different people/couples that have had bad dealing with this company. This system is being used by letting agents to scam people out of money. Just pay a normal deposit — don’t deal with this scum company.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear how frustrated and let down you feel — that’s not the experience we want anyone to have with Reposit. To clarify a few important points: charge reviews are carried out by independent adjudicators, not by landlords, letting agents, or Reposit staff. Their role is to assess the evidence provided by both parties and determine what they believe to be reasonable based on market rates, invoices, and the tenancy agreement. We understand that, even when a charge is reduced, the outcome can still feel unfair — particularly if it doesn’t align with prices you’ve found elsewhere — and we appreciate how upsetting that can be. Regarding the dispute process, the system does not force tenants to increase offers, nor does it determine outcomes based on percentages. Any prompts shown are intended to help users understand what landlords are more likely to accept in a negotiation context, but they do not influence an adjudicator’s independent decision. We strongly reject the idea that the system is designed to favour landlords or agents, or that it’s used to “scam” tenants. That said, we recognise that trust is built on experience, and it’s clear we’ve fallen short for you here. Feedback like yours is taken seriously and is used to improve both our processes and how clearly we explain them. If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate the chance to look into your specific case in more detail. You can reach our support team at hello@reposit.co.uk, and we’ll make sure it’s reviewed thoroughly. We’re sorry that the outcome of the dispute did not align with your expectations, but we thank you for speaking up. Kind Regards Reposit Customer Support Team

My experience with Reposit Group has been deeply troubling and highly distressing. The company presents itself as a “no-deposit” alternative, but in reality, this appears to be a system designed to gain access to customers’ bank details from the outset and later impose disputed charges without proper transparency or due process. In my case, Reposit took my bank details at the beginning of the tenancy and obtained consent through a complex and unclear online process. Toward the end of the tenancy, they raised what I believe to be unreasonable and unjustified charges and withdrew £1,800 directly from my bank account without my prior knowledge or agreement. Despite this, they are still attempting to recover additional funds and have escalated the matter by passing my details to a recovery agency, creating further stress and financial pressure. At my previous property, a toilet pipe leak caused damage to my household items. I informed the relevant parties including landlord and replaced damaged items at my own cost, providing receipts as evidence. However, they refused any compensation and advised that I must pursue legal action to recover my losses—while they themselves removed money from my account without going through any comparable legal process. This double standard is extremely concerning. The company’s operations lack transparency. There is no clear contact telephone number, no easily identifiable physical address, and communication is limited to email responses that are often delayed and unprofessional. This makes it very difficult for customers to resolve disputes fairly or promptly. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution others to carefully review Reposit’s terms and conditions and their digital process before engaging with this company. What is marketed as a convenient alternative to a traditional deposit can, in practice, leave tenants feeling trapped, powerless, and financially exposed.

Hi Jafar, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear how distressing this situation has been for you, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. Reposit is designed to be a regulated alternative to a traditional cash deposit, with the aim of reducing upfront costs for tenants while still providing landlords with protection. We understand, however, that when disputes arise—particularly around end-of-tenancy charges—this process can feel frustrating and overwhelming. To clarify a few points in general terms: - When a tenant signs up to Reposit, consent to the payment method and dispute process is provided through our digital agreement, which sets out how and when funds may be requested if a claim is raised. - Any charges claimed at the end of a tenancy are first raised by the landlord or agent and are subject to evidence and a defined dispute resolution process. Tenants are always entitled to challenge a claim, request an independent review, and provide their own evidence before a final outcome is determined. - Recovery action is only considered where a balance remains outstanding after these processes have concluded. That said, we recognise your concerns about transparency, communication, and how this has been handled from your perspective. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we take feedback like this seriously. We are continuously reviewing how we explain our terms, improve accessibility of our support channels, and ensure customers feel informed and treated fairly throughout the tenancy lifecycle. Because Google is a public forum, we’re unable to discuss the specifics of your case here. We would genuinely like the opportunity to review what has happened in detail and address any misunderstandings or issues. Please contact our customer support team directly via the email address associated with your Reposit account, quoting your Google review, so a senior member of the team can look into this for you. Thank you again for raising your concerns. We value this feedback and are sorry for the stress this situation has caused you. Kind regards Reposit Customer Support Team

STAY AWAY! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY Awful company. Now they are threatening CCJ’s and solicitors for £60! I couldn’t live in the property as it was so uninhabitable. They had a full months rent out of me and my weeks deposit and I couldn’t live in the property! Claiming their terms and conditions mean they can treat you this way! DISGUSTING COMPANY.

Hi Kerry, We’re sorry to hear how difficult your experience with the property was, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. We want to clarify that the charges you’ve mentioned were not issued by Reposit. They were submitted directly by your letting agent, and Reposit is required to process the information they provide. As we explained in our email correspondence, we cannot negotiate or amend charges on a landlord or agent’s behalf, nor can we comment on the condition or management of the property itself. Reposit did make the formal dispute option available, which does allow tenants to challenge any charges raised. As this wasn’t completed within the dispute period, the charges were automatically deemed accepted under the terms of the Reposit service, and we are now obligated to pursue them. We understand this situation has been distressing, and we are genuinely sympathetic to the circumstances you described. While we must follow the process fairly for all parties, we are always willing to help you manage repayment which would stop further action to recover the funds. If you would like further support or clarification, please reach out to our team at hello@reposit.co.uk and we will do everything we can to assist. Kind regards Reposit Customer Support Team

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.

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

Do not use this company. They do not help you at the end of a tenancy. They are completely on landlords side. I took a room in a house share (1 other person who I never saw) from seeing photos only as I was in Belfast. I moved out of a property within less than 1 month as it was disgusting and uninhabitable. I suffered an injury on a rusty, badly broken tap. The landlord accepted me terminating the tenancy early but is now trying to claim for cleaning and mattress steam. The first 4 photos are the disgusting state it was in and the rusty broken tap and the other 3 the bedroom as I left it Decide for yourselves who is right and wrong! I am quite happy to discuss this in court I DID NOTIFY YOU THAT I WAS NOT ACCEPTING ANY CHARGES WITHIN THE CORRECT TIMEFRAME BUT YOU INSIST ON ME PAYING £60 TO DISPUTE IT WHICH I REFUSE TO DO!!!!!! SHOCKING SERVICE AND THE PUBLIC NEED TO BE AWARE!!!

Hi Kerry, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience. As outlined in our Tenant Terms and Conditions, tenants are notified of any landlord charges at the end of a tenancy and are required to respond through their online Reposit account within 7 calendar days. If no response is received within that period, the charges are deemed accepted, and Reposit will proceed with recovery in line with the agreement. In this case, you did not take any action or raise a dispute within the timeframes provided. As a result, the claim was processed in accordance with the agreed terms. We would also like to clarify that Reposit is an independent deposit replacement provider and does not act on behalf of either party in tenancy matters. We facilitate communication and, where necessary, provide access to an independent adjudicator for formal disputes—however, this process must be initiated by a tenant within the time limits set out in the agreement. We understand that moving home can be stressful and regret that you feel unsupported. However, we must operate strictly within the terms accepted at the time of sign-up to ensure fairness and consistency for all parties. Kind regards Reposit Customer Support

Absolutely appalling! Trying to charge me £1833 in illegal end of tenancy fees 4 months after I moved out of the property, and then trying to make me pay £60 within 7 days (the 7 days before payday coincidentally) just for the chance to dispute it is an absolute joke. The communication has been dreadful and entirely unhelpful. I have an ongoing case with the Property Ombudsman regarding the charges, but they are still pursuing the money I allegedly owe, and had threatened legal action (I owe nothing, the charges made against me are entirely unfair and unjustified, as the check in inventory comments on everything I have tried to be charged for before I even moved in). They also failed to add my housemate to the policy and didn't send me any correspondence about this, so he now has no liability for any of these charges despite living there for nearly a year. Sort yourselves out and stop ripping off the people who have nothing. Disgusting.

Hi Luke, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your experience. Under the Reposit Terms and Conditions, landlords are permitted to raise end-of-tenancy charges for up to the value allowed under the agreement. Tenants are notified of any such charges and are given 7 calendar days to respond through their Reposit account. If a tenant disagrees with the charges, they may formally dispute it by referring the matter to an independent adjudicator, which requires a £60 adjudication fee. This fee is fully refundable if the adjudicator considers the dispute valid or reduces the amount claimed. Reposit does not determine the outcome of any claim or act on behalf of landlords or tenants. Our role is to facilitate communication between both parties and provide access to an independent resolution process in line with the agreed terms. Regarding your comment about liability, each tenant listed on the tenancy agreement and Reposit account is jointly responsible for any valid end-of-tenancy charges. We can only include tenants who were registered and confirmed at the time of the agreement. We understand that these matters can be frustrating and are glad to hear you’ve referred your case to The Property Ombudsman. We will of course cooperate fully with any investigation. If you would like us to review your specific case details again, please contact us directly at hello@reposit.co.uk, and our team will ensure the matter is checked against the timelines and documentation under your agreement. Kind regards Reposit Customer Support Team

Unfair and untransparent – avoid if you’re a guarantor or tenant I’m the father and guarantor of a former tenant whose flat became uninhabitable after flooding. The landlord’s agents told everyone to vacate and promised reimbursement for hotel costs. When that never happened, my son deducted the cost (£358) from his rent — after informing the agent, who agreed this was reasonable. Reposit later treated this as “unpaid rent” and used their so-called independent adjudicator, HF Resolution Ltd, whose directors have landlord business ties. They refused to name the adjudicator, citing “data protection,” which is absurd. Despite clear proof the building was evacuated, the case went against the tenant on the basis that he had not proved that the property was uninhabitable — and Reposit then took £358 from my bank card without consent. A completely opaque and biased process. Tenants and guarantors are far better off with a proper government-backed deposit scheme. Added after Reposit’s response: Unsurprisingly, Reposit now suggest that the rent was due because the landlord did not accept the withholding. But that is not why the adjudicator found against the tenant. The adjudicator’s decision stated: “While it has been acknowledged that some flooding occurred during the tenancy, … without any evidence showing the property was deemed uninhabitable, the tenant remains responsible for the full rent.” Habitability was never in dispute — the landlord’s own agents instructed all tenants to vacate and find temporary accommodation. Reposit’s claim that they had no control over the decision is plainly wrong: Reposit chose the adjudicator, a company with strong landlord ties and every incentive to find in favour of landlords. As to their point that “no evidence was provided that the landlord accepted the deduction,” this was in fact argued — and the landlord never sought payment after being told of the deduction. The adjudicator didn’t even mention this, proving how flawed the reasoning was Consumers deserve honesty and transparency. Reposit’s attempt to rewrite the facts of this case only reinforces why their process should be treated with caution

Hi Eduard, We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation has been for you and your son. To clarify, Reposit does not raise or decide on any charges ourselves. All claims are submitted by the landlord or their agent, and where there is a disagreement, the evidence from both parties is reviewed by an independent adjudicator. In this case, the adjudication was handled by HF Resolution Ltd, who are a fully independent third party — Reposit has no influence or control over their decisions. We note your comment regarding the rent reduction. The adjudicator can only consider evidence that both parties have submitted. In this instance, while evidence of a request to reduce rent was provided, there was no evidence showing that the landlord had agreed to or accepted this reduction. Had such evidence been supplied, it would have been taken into account during the review. We understand this outcome was disappointing, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback. We continuously review our processes to ensure transparency and fairness for all parties involved. Kind regards, Reposit Customer Support Team
