Information For Tenants

Finding a Property
Our personnel are specially trained and equipped to assist Tenants to find properties to rent that will meet their needs. We maintain a database of properties available to rent and of prospective tenants and their requirements. As properties become available, our first action is to contact waiting tenants on the database, whose requirements match the property. Typically, properties to rent become available about two months before occupancy date, so where possible It is advisable to start looking early.

Viewings
Having identified a suitable property, we will arrange a viewing. This will be at a convenient time for you. All viewings will be accompanied by a member of staff, who will be able to provide advice and answer any questions you may have.

Offer/Application
Having found a property, you will need to complete a written application form. On application a reservation deposit will be required. If we or the landlord decline your application it will be refunded. It will however not be refunded if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if the tenancy fails due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided in the tenancy application.

References
We will take references on behalf of the landlord. Normally these will include your employer, any former landlord and a character reference. A credit check will also be undertaken.

Rent
Rents are normally quoted on a monthly basis. In addition, the tenant is usually responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity, and Telephone costs. Rents are payable by standing order to our company bank account monthly in advance.

Deposit
A deposit is normally required prior to occupation. This is normally equal to one month’s rent. Where we are managing the property, the deposit will be either; a) held by us or covered by insurance, or b) forwarded to the government authorised custodial body. The deposit is held to cover any breakages, damage, rent arrears, or other tenant liabilities. We will check the property in the presence of the tenant at the end of the tenancy, to asses any damages or deductions due. Please note that the deposit cannot be used by the tenant to cover rent.

Administration/Agency Fees
A fee is due prior to the start of the tenancy to cover the tenants share of administration costs, including preparation of the tenancy agreement and any legal notices., referencing and credit checks, and check in and check out
