Deposit returns

You'll need to fill in a form to have your deposit returned to you. Find out more.

When you accepted your offer of accommodation, you paid a £250 security deposit. Once you have moved out completely and returned your keys, we need to return this sum, less any deductions for charges such as damage, cleaning or rent arrears. To enable us to return your deposit, we need you to submit your bank details, through one of the following methods:

  • Fill in the online form on the Applicant Portal. Select ‘Actions’, then ‘Accommodation’, then ‘Finance’ and the Refund button will allow you to submit your details. 
  • For a Canadian, US or Australian account please complete our form and return it to accommodationonline@reading.ac.uk. Please note there will be a charge for international bank transfers. 

The bank details you provide must be open at the time your deposit is due to be returned to you, this usually takes 28 days from the end date of your accommodation contract. 
If you have any queries, please contact reading.deposits@upp-ltd.com.
