NWT security deposit maximum calculator

Estimate the ceiling for weekly and non-weekly tenancies.

Check your dates

This gives you a starting date. Your actual deadline may be different.

How to enter rent

Choose weekly or monthly billing correctly. If you pay fortnightly or have subsidized employer housing, ask the Rental Office rather than convert this figure automatically.

A non-weekly tenant generally may split the ordinary deposit into 50% at the start and the balance within three months.

Not pet security

The result does not include any separately allowed pet deposit, and special subsidized-housing rules can vary.
