INFORMATION FOR TENANTSWhilst we make every effort to keep this website regularly updated, will all prospective tenants please ensure that they check with us in advance that any properties they are interested in viewing are still available, particularly if you are travelling a long distance. It should also be appreciated that some of the properties advertised are occupied, and we may need to give 24 hours notice in advance of a viewing. Tenants should also note that upon accepting a property to let, we will need to receive an agency and referencing fee, before we are able to proceed. We will also provide you with a copy of our Terms & Conditions of Business, together with an application Form which must be completed. We currently charge an agency fee of 30% plus VAT of the property's rent, plus £75.00 (inc VAT) to reference at least one party. All tenancies are granted subject to satisfactory references. Once we have received satisfactory references, and a move in date in agreed, we shall require you to pay for the deposit and first months rent in advance in cleared funds. If you are paying via personal or business cheque, we shall require this at least 5 working days prior to moving in. However, we will be happy to accept cash, a banker's draft, building society cheque, or debit card payment either within 24 hours of you moving in, or on the moving in date, provided all parties have signed the tenancy agreement in advance. With regard to the above, all parties, plus Guarantors, if appropriate, must sign the tenancy agreement prior to moving in. A tenancy agreement is a legal document and without all relevant signatures, we regret to inform you that you will not be able to move in. We are also not able to release keys to you unless all monies are paid and the tenancy agreement signed. Once you have moved in, we do recommend that you use your tenancy agreement as guidance. For example, please do not decorate with your landlord/agent's consent. Also, if you are not allowed to smoke or keep pets, please do not do so. A tenancy agreement is legally binding upon you for the period it is written. Therefore, if your circumstances do change and you have to move out early, your landlord can hold you responsible for rent payments until the tenancy has ended or a new tenant has been found. Unfortunately, you will also be responsible for paying the landlord's re-letting costs. We hope these brief notes are of help, enjoy browsing through the property selection, and please do contact us if you see anything of interest. |
