We like to make renting your home as relaxed and easy as possible. We will explain each step of the process to you and are always very happy to answer any questions.

Legal Implications

You will be signing a contract for an initial period of six months. This will usually be a six month Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, which can only be broken after the initial six month period on giving one month's written notice. In rare circumstances your Landlord will, by prior arrangement, agree to give a three month break, but usually only if you pay for the property until a new tenant can be found. Your Landlord has to give you two month's notice to quit if he wishes you to leave after the six month term. If you are in mutual agreement to continue with the tenancy after the initial six months the tenancy can continue on a monthly basis with no new contracts required.

Initial requirements

Before you commence the tenancy we will require;

• A County Court Judgment check
• An employer reference or other proof of income
• One month's rent in advance
• 1¼ month's dilapidation deposit
• Minimum of £140 initial fees

A dilapidation deposit is held for the period of the tenancy. This is to cover costs in the event of excess wear and tear or cleaning that may be required after you leave the property. We will compile a full condition inventory before you go into the property and as ARLA Registered Agents we believe that any deductions for damage or dilapidations will be very fair.
