Guide for Tenants
Before a property can be let, there are several matters which the owner will need to deal with to
ensure that the tenancy runs smoothly, and also that he/she complies with
the law. For brief details of a subject click on a link below, or
scroll down the page. If you require further advice or assistance with any
matter, please do not hesitate to contact us:
Finding a property
The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and
about the accommodation you require. We then search our database for
suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so
that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise
to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as quality
properties are viewed and reserved quickly. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum
term of 6 months.
Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and
weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who
can give advice and answer any questions you may have.
Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a
'holding deposit', usually equivalent to one week's rent. Assuming that the
tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you
move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded.
However the deposit will be forfeit if you decide not to proceed for any
reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your
application.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or
college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require a personal
reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit check will be
undertaken. We use the services of an independent referencing company to
obtain and evaluate these references. Naturally, we will assist you in
completing the appropriate assessment form.
Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance.
The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas,
Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing
order or where agreed by online banking.
Deposit
All Deposits taken are secured with the ‘Deposit Protection Scheme’
(DPS). For more information go to
www.depositprotection.com.
