The Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DiGS) is funded by various statutory and voluntary agencies and is managed by the Accomodation Deposit Scheme (Cumbria) Ltd. It has been set up to help people over 16 years in the Eden area who are in receipt of state benefits or on a low income to secure privately rented accommodation. DiGS provides a deposit guarantee of a maximum amount equivalent to one month's rent in the form of a written bond to cover the deposit required by a landlord for damage or theft. Funding may also be available for rent in advance - please enquire with DiGS.
