An application form should be completed for any intended occupants aged 18 yrs and above . Upon acceptance of an application the payment of the Holding Deposit (one weeks rent) is required, payable either by debit or credit card or bank transfer. This is paid to reserve the property and will be held by us for a period of 15 days unless we agree otherwise.

All adults of 18yrs and over who will be living at the property will be asked to provide evidence of nationality and identity to validate their 'Right to Rent' under the Immigration Act 2014.

For the self-employed, a reference from your accountant or solicitor will be required. A credit reference will be obtained for each applicant. Acceptance of references and the offer of a tenancy is at our discretion.

The Tenancy: The property will be let on an Assured Periodic Tenancy Agreement (APT). The tenancy continues on a rolling periodic basis until either party serves notice to terminate the agreement. To end the tenancy a tenant is required to provide a minimum of two month‘s notice, to end on the last day of a rent period. The landlord is required to serve a Section 8 notice to bring the tenancy to an end, using the relevant grounds for repossession.

The tenant is responsible for Council Tax for the tenancy period and for all charges for water and sewerage, gas, electricity, telephone or other utility/service providers‘ charges supplied to the tenant during the tenancy.

Deposit & Rent: The successful Tenant will be required to pay a deposit (equal to a maximum of 5 weeks rent depending on the property). This will be held in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme Regulations and will be re-fundable at the end of the tenancy, subject to the property being left in a satisfactory condition. Rent is payable on or by each rent day and is payable by standing order. One month‘s rent in advance PLUS the deposit is required after the APT has been signed, but prior to the tenancy start date and keys being released. Please Note: It is NOT possible to use the deposit as rent for the final month.

Pets: An applicant is required to advise if they have pets, and their application must be fairly considered. Pets may not be acceptable for a number of reasons including allergies/medical reasons, conditions within the property lease, lack of outside space, communal grounds or close proximity to a main road. If a pet is accepted the landlord is permitted to request that the tenant has the relevant pet insurance in place in order to protect the property.
