Tenant Information

We offer a friendly, helpful service with the aim of housing you, trouble free, as soon as possible. If you see a property that you like, we will be delighted to show you around it. If you don’t see your dream home let us know what you are looking for; it may be in the pipeline!

Once you have found your new home we will need you to fill in a reference application form. Once the application pack is complete including the required accompanying documents we will take a holding deposit and process your application. Then subject to acceptable references having been obtained, we can arrange for you to sign a tenancy agreement and set a date for you to move in.

Moving In

When you sign the tenancy agreement it will specify the first day on which you can move in. Before you move in you will need to have paid to us the deposit and first months rent and have arranged a standing order with your bank to make future rent payments.

On the day that you are moving in you will need to agree a time with us to meet you at the property. We will require you to check with us the contents and condition of the property, and then sign the 'Check-In Report' to confirm that it is correct. This will include the current meter readings for the utilities. We will also demonstrate the operation of any facilities and appliances which are at the property.

 

Moving Out

At the end of the tenancy we will arrange to re-check the property with you against the 'Check-In Report'. The Landlord will expect the property to be left clean and in the same state of repair as when you took possession (taking into account fair wear and tear). Any necessary remedial action will be charged against your security deposit
