Creating an account and advertising your space with SplitRent is completely free of charge. You only pay a £25 deposit per ad, which is only taken upon successful bookings. If for any reason your ad is deactivated or you can't rent your room, the £25 will be refunded back to your eWallet.

Our eWallet is an electronic wallet you can deposit money into to fund your advertisements and bookings. When you post an ad, we simply take £25 out of your eWallet as a deposit which will then only be kept if the booking is successful. You can withdraw funds out of your eWallet at any time, just bear in mind this may take up to 10 days to be processed and reflected in your bank account.

When a booking is made, SplitRent will securely process the payment on behalf of the landlord, where we hold on to the funds until the new tenant confirms the legitimacy of the ad they responded to. When the tenant confirms the room's condition is satisfactory, the SplitRent Payments team will release the funds to the landlord. There is no obligation to use this service, but bear in mind that SplitRent takes no responsibility for any bookings made outside of SplitRent Payments. Read more about how this works on SplitRent Payments' page.
