Tenants may also be charged the following fees for services provided during the tenancy:

Default Fee: A payment that is required in the event of a defauly by the tenant e.g Lost key(s) or other Security Device(s): Tenants are liable to the actual cost of replacing any lost key(s) or other security device(s). If the loss results in locks needing to be changed, the actual costs of a locksmith, new lock and replacement keys for the tenant, landlord and any other persons requiring keys will be at a reasonable charge to the tenant.

Late Payment Fee: Interest at 3% above the Bank of England Base Rate from Rent Due Date until paid in order to pursue non-payment of rent. Please note: This will not be levied until the rent is more than 14 days in arrears.

These costs will be no more than the maximum amount of rent outstanding on the tenancy.

Critera for Applications: All applications are based on a minimum household affordability of 30 x the monthly rent payment. If the applicant has historic or current credit issues such as CCJ’s, IVA’s, Bankruptcy then these must be disclosed to the letting agent before a holding deposit is paid so they can establish whether you are likely to be accepted for the tenancy.
All applicants are referenced through Rent4Sure against a criteria with the Landlord and will include proof of identification, proof of residency, credit check, Right to Rent check and proof of income, passing a referencing does not constitute acceptance for tenancy and the landlord can decline an applicant without reason. All offers to tenancy are made Subject to Contract.
