The guarantor will be referenced using the same criteria as the tenant with the exception that their income must be at least 3 times the annual rent or the application will fail and the holding deposit will not be refunded.

 

During the Tenancy:

Rent: Regular payments of rent as specified in the contract

Rent arrears: Should tenants fall into rent arrears, 3% above current bank of England interest rate will be charged after 14 days has elapsed

Changes to tenancy: If tenants request to alter the tenancy i.e. by substituting one tenant with another, the new tenant(s) will need to be referenced and there will be an administration charge of £120.00.

Payments to other third parties: The tenant is liable for all utilities including Council Tax, Water, TV and TV licence, Phone, Broadband and gas etc.

Lost keys: The tenant must pay the agent reasonable costs in procuring replacement keys. If the tenant has locked themselves out of the property and requires the agent to attend to let them in there will be a call out fee of £60.00 up to 10pm. After 10pm the call out fee will be £96.00.

Early Surrender: Early surrender of tenancy will be subject to landlord agreement. Equal to the loss suffered by the landlord as a result of the early termination and a fair portion of the remarketing and re letting costs. You will still be liable for the rent until a replacement tenant moves in, even if you have left the property.

Other Information

Repairs

The Landlord would normally be responsible for significant repairs to the property, i.e. boiler breakdown but you are expected to act in a `tenant like manner` and carry out certain day to day repairs, such as changing light bulbs, smoke alarm batteries, fuses, unblocking the drains etc. You are also liable for any damage caused by your negligence or carelessness. All repairs should be reported to the agent immediately.

Inspections

The Landlord or agent will want to carry out inspections during the tenancy but you will receive a minimum of 24hrs written notice before any inspection. This will usually be only 2 or 3 times per year.

Deposit

Your agent/landlord must provide you with details of the scheme under which the deposit is protected within 30 days of you paying the deposit to the agent. Some landlords will accept the zero deposit scheme.

Our role

This will depend on what the landlord instructs us to do. In the event of a Let Only service, you will be provided with the landlord’s details when you move in and will then deal with them directly. However, if we are fully managing the property then you will deal with us alone and not the landlord. In fact you are asked to refrain from contacting the landlord directly as this can cause confusion. Although our client is the landlord we will try to be fair to all parties.
