Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar month and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone/ Satellite costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account or your landlord’s bank account.
Deposit Protection
Security deposit of a maximum 5 weeks rental will normally be required. This deposit will be treated in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Protection regulations, and you will be informed of which protection scheme is utilised. The deposit is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer, a previous or current landlord, and a credit reference report. We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.
