There is a agent around this way who takes smaller deposits or rent upfront but gives the tenant the choice of there own insurance or they must obtain it themselves prior to the tenancy starting that covers any damage caused outside of the deposit. cost about £70 for a flat £100 for a house. it also gives the tenant a month i think of rent in the event they loose there job, or cant work due to illness etc.. seems quite a popular option as it means they tenant needs only pay 4 weeks upfront without a large deposit aswell.
