Tenancy Agreement: A tenancy agreement is a contract between you and the landlord, setting out the terms and conditions of the tenancy and the rights and obligations the landlord and the tenant have to each other and the property.

Insurance: It is the job of the Landlord to insure the bricks and mortar of the property, but your Landlord won’t insure your personal belongings.

Deposit

The deposit will be held by a government approved Deposit Scheme and is due prior to commencement of the tenancy.

The deposit will be equivalent to five weeks rent.

Deposit: Once the full deposit is paid, the property is then secured. The deposit will be held by the DEPOSIT PROTECTION SERVICE (DPS). The deposit is held against any non payment of rent or damages to the property over and above fair wear and tear.

We register deposits with The Deposit Protection Service www.depositprotection.com and a deposit certificate will be issued on registration of the deposit with the DPS.
