Tenants Guidance Notes

References

  • Credit and employers references will be taken prior to a tenancy being offered.

Costs and Fees

  • Rents are charged monthly in advance with the first payment being due on signing of a tenancy agreement.

  • A fee of £125.00 inclusive of VAT will become due to cover our administration costs for the first applicant. Additional applicants will be charged at £35.00 incl. VAT.

  • Rents quoted are exclusive of council tax, water rates, electricity, gas, telephone and any other utility charges unless specifically stated.

  • A deposit will be required equivalent to at least one months rent and held against the condition and inventory to the property. An inventory will be supplied at the commencement of the tenancy and would be rechecked at the determination of the tenancy. The deposit will then be refunded subject to any retention's.

Payment Methods

  • We can now accept payment by all major credit and debit cards, including, Visa, MasterCard, Switch and Delta.

General Tenancy Terms

  • Properties are let in the condition seen unless agreed otherwise.

  • The minimum length of contract is six months and is binding on both parties for that period. A tenant would not have the option to give notice during a fixed term tenancy.

  • A tenant would be expected to maintain the garden to the standard at the commencement of the tenancy unless otherwise agreed.

  • External and internal redecoration of the property is the Landlord's responsibility and a tenant would not be allowed to undertake any works unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Landlord.

  • For the majority of the properties we act as management agents and therefore any problems or general queries should be addressed to Simply Lets. However, there are some properties where we act only as letting agents and once the tenancy has been created the administration of that tenancy, rent and maintenance queries must be addressed to the Landlord.

  • Should general repairs and maintenance be required to properties during the period of the tenancy, if we are retained as management agents we would still need to obtain authorisation from our landlord client before work can commence.

  • Most Landlords do not allow pets and animals, however, if you have a particular interest in a property please ask and enquiries will be made with that Landlord.

  • It is the tenants responsibility to ensure that all utilities are connected at the commencement of the tenancy. Also that meter readings are made at the commencement and the determination of the tenancy.

  • Once the initial fixed term tenancy has expired, subject to negotiation with the Landlord you may be able to extend on a periodic basis which would mean the tenancy would continue until you serve not less than one month's notice or the landlord serves not less than two months notice.

  • Alternatively a further fixed term extension could be created if both parties are agreeable.

  • We advise our landlord clients that they must comply with relevant legislation as itemised on our safety legislation pages as a condition of using this agency.
