Draught Tenancy Bond

My sister-in-law and myself are deputies for my mother-in-law who is now residing in a home. We have decided to rent out her property and have a tenant lined up. She has split up from her husband who is in the army and SSAFA are helping her out with her deposit. They have asked for a draught tenancy bond and say I can download it from the net,but I am finding it difficult finding anything. Even my local stationery supplier could not find it.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Look for a DRAFT bond and you may have more luck.

    You may be in Scotland (where rules are different and I'm unfamiliar) but in Eng/Wales your query makes little sense.

    Are they asking for a draft tenancy agreement? If so, this is something you should already have in hand if you are planning to rent out the property. Indeed, it makes me wonder what else you may have not yet organised. I suggest you read this post here. The best place to get a tenancy agreement is probobly by joining a Landlords Association, or from your agent if you ar using one.

    If it really IS the 'deposit' or 'bond' they are asking about, well, this is a sum of money, not a document. Perhaps what they are asking is for confirmation of which deposit scheme you plan to use? See here.
