Potential tenants are charged the holding deposit fee if they decide to not go ahead with the tenancy.

More details

While potential tenants are charged the holding deposit fee if they pull out, there is no fee for a landlord unjustly pulling out without reason.

While there are legitimate reasons to pull out of a tenancy, such as a potential tenants not passing references, the landlord should be held to the same standard as the tenants during the the process, and be charged a fee once an offer is accepted if they exit the agreement without just reason.
