Guide for Tenants
Finding a property
The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about
yourself and about the accommodation you require. We then
search our database for suitable properties for you to view.
If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact
you as suitable properties become available. It is wise to
start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the
nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. Our tenancies
are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.
Other Areas
If you are looking for a property to rent outside Nottingham,
please go to our UK Network page.
Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including
evenings and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied
by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions
you may have.
Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve
it by paying a 'holding deposit', usually equivalent to one
week's rent. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will
be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the
landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded.
However the deposit will be forfeit if you decide not to proceed
for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate
information in your application.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from
your employer (or college), and a previous or current landlord.
We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a
guarantor. In addition a credit check will be undertaken.
We may use the services of an independent referencing company
to obtain and evaluate these references.
Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly
in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council
Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All
rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank
account.
Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month's rental must
be paid, and will be held by ourselves as stakeholders in
a secure client account throughout the tenancy term. This
is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities
under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that
under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant
to cover rent.
