    Nope. I'm calling shenanigans on this one.
    Actually this is really common, but often in commercially owned blocks of flats - purpose built for students.

    The no deposit thing is quite common.
    My offspring is currently in this type of arrangement,no deposit but a long list of charges that were incorporated into the tenancy agreement should anything above wear and tear on the property occur.
    It seems to be getting more common in private rented shared student houses in their area.
    I assume it negates the ability to challenge the deduction when the tenancy ends via a deposit scheme.
