[Yes](https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/scotland/housing/renting-a-home-s/starting-a-tenancy/problems-with-fees-and-deposits/#fees). Just ask.
Point them at the law if they dither.
Because a deposit offered/asked for/taken in this way isn't a guarantee of anything, but more just a token that you're trying to demonstrate your interest, it might or might not have an effect.
In any case, they **must** return it if you ask for it back. |
