London mayor Boris Johnson has backed a Shelter proposal that employers should be able to offer tax-free loans to staff to help with rental deposits.
Johnson issued his own call at the Conservative party conference, after his housing team met with Shelter representatives to discuss the idea.
Shelter said that Johnson is right to back the initiative, saying that the average deposit is now £979 nationally, and a lot more in London.
A Shelter survey of private tenants in 2012 found that 19% borrowed money to pay their tenancy deposit, with some using payday loans.
Shelter says there is a clear opportunity for employers to provide an alternative, safe source of tenancy deposit funding as a benefit to their staff. It points out that many employers already offer their staff tax-free loans for travel season tickets.
Shelter is putting its money where its mouth is, and is to start offering its own staff interest-free loans of up two months’ salary in order to fund their deposits.
Once their deposit is paid and the rented home secured, borrowers will repay the loan via monthly pay packet deductions.

My Name Is Mrs Donelle Christine I want You all To be careful there.nobody can help you here or even suggest how you can get financial help.any answer of a loan lender to your question,you MUST ignore,because they are SCAMS…real SCAMS…i was a victim of which i was ripped thousands of dollars…well thank God for a Tom MIills Loan firm,I was referred to by my cousin,who is by name,Mr.Wilson Brown Of pay day loan firm.They made my life a valuable one,and gave it a meaning.I was approved loan of $70,000.00 USD AND IN 26 HOURS after meeting up to their necessary requirements,my loan was deposited in my bank account.Though I was very nervous with the loan firm at the first place due to my previous bad experiences,especially when the issue of me settling the transfer charges came up,I hold on to my faith due to the fact that my relative referred me,got it cleared,and as God should have it.little did I know that my financial shortcomings has come to a final HALT .If not for that quick referral from a relative of that genuine source ,I would have regretted my total life,because at that point in time I just divorced the father of my daughter,and my daughter (Theresa) was faced with a ” between life and death ” situation ..I was faced with her hospital bills and was also faced with foreclosure at my apartment.Details of the GOD SENT and RELIEVING source won’t be disclosed to you for now, for fear of impersonation ( because it has being discovered that some persons are not really in need of financial help,but are there to impersonate real loan lenders through their phone numbers and email accounts,and acting to be them where necessary to those in real need)…I couldn’t comment on your post because it was a public place and I fear you would fall into the hand of all these fraudulent loan officers (even in US) like how they ripped me off.You must be able to convince me real hard,and provide good proofs,before I can give you the full details of this legitimate loan officer..Their charge is very affordable and reliable compare to many out there,their interest rates just 2%,little documentation,and little credit check(irrespective of your credit score,but you MUST have a good and liable income source) His Name is Mr Tom Mills Feel free to email him at via Email:tommillsloancompany@gmail.com ” and you will be free from scams. thanks as you read the greatest testimony of my life.

All that ever seems to be in the news these days are Shelter with ridiculous gimmicks! Do they have ANY credibility any more??
Has anyone really thought this through? I mean really?
Just as we enter a possible sales bubble, should we really replicate it and create a lettings bubble as well?
If i didn't pay Corporation Tax and received 10 million from the tax payer then I am sure I would be in a position to give interest free loans to our employees.
Loan people money to sustain increasing rents?
A suggestion BY Shelter?
Are we through the looking glass here?
