The Tenancy Agreement
This document embraces the terms negotiated and agreed between yourself and the landlord, also reciting the statutory obligations of each party. The contract thereafter is signed by each party. All offers / acceptances are made subject to contract.
Inventory
This is an important document prepared before possession, recording the condition of the property together with any contents. A copy is supplied to the tenant for signature. This avoids disputes at the end of the tenancy.
Deposit
This is a sum usually equivalent to five weeks rent, to offset the cost (if any) incurred in reinstating the property at the end of the tenancy as existed at commencement, less fair wear and tear.
These monies are retained in accordance with the following:
Deposit Refund
At the end of the tenancy the sum is released, less any mutually agreed deductions, as determined by the tenancy agreement. If in dispute the matter is referred, together with the deposit, to the scheme adjudicator whose decision is final and binding on both parties.
Accounting
Prior to occupation we will submit an invoice for advance payment of the first month rent & the deposit.
We must be in possession of cleared funds before keys are released and occupation commences.
