The Department of Communities offers bond assistance and two weeks rent in advance as an interest-free loan to help eligible people obtain accommodation in the private rental market. Maximum loan amounts depend on an applicant's individual circumstances.
Eligible applicants can borrow up to the equivalent of four weeks rent for the security bond and up to two weeks rent in advance.
