Procedure for securing a tenancy 1. The landlord has instructed us to act on their behalf in their absence and to seek suitable tenants. 2. Having viewed the property and arrived at a decision to make an application to rent, you are required to provide personal details ranging from your name and address to occupation and salary. You are required to provide financial, employer, character and landlord references as we can only agree to a tenancy on behalf of the landlord, subject to satisfactory replies from those referees. Our investigations will also include a search of the credit registers to establish your financial credibility. This is necessary for your prospective landlord to confirm that, in all respects, your application is suitable and satisfactory. For your own guidance you should be aware that to meet the required income to rent ratio your salary should be at least 2.5 times the proposed annual rent. 3. If you are unable to provide satisfactory references or credit check you may still be offered a tenancy subject to a satisfactory Guarantor being provided. This person must be over 24, in full time employment and earning at least three times your proposed annual rent. The Guarantor will be contacted to ensure that they are aware of a Guarantor s obligations and they will be required to complete a Guarantor application form. They will need to meet satisfactory reference and credit checks and will be expected to sign a form to guarantee your legal commitments in the tenancy. 4. If you are claiming benefits of any kind or are under 21 years of age, you will in all cases require a Guarantor. 5. If you have County Court Judgements (CCJ s) registered against you it may prove impossible to grant you a tenancy unless satisfactory evidence of the clearance of debit is produced prior to the commencement of the tenancy. If you have any such judgements registered against you but do not declare them on your application form, they will in any case be found on our checking system and you will then be automatically disqualified from proceeding with the proposed tenancy. You are therefore advised in all circumstances of known or suspected bad credit to discuss the situation fully at the outset so we may properly advise you of how your application may proceed before you commit to any application fee. 6. You must provide proof of identification when submitting this application. One photographic and one postal from the list provided at the rear of this form. All postal identification must be dated within the last three months. Deposits & rents 7. Given satisfactory replies to enquires you will be offered the tenancy of the property subject only to confirmation from the prospective Landlord of their acceptance of your application, the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement, payment of agreed advance of rent and required tenancy security deposit, and payment of all administration costs. 8. Deposits and rents are required to be paid directly to our bank account via BACS at least five working days before your Tenancy commences. Your Bank/Building Society can arrange this for you. You will need to contact us to obtain our banking details to arrange this payment. For payment on the day of signing only bankers draft or credit/debit cards is acceptable. Please note that all credit card transactions incur an additional fee of 2.5% and we do NOT accept cash payments. 9. The tenancy deposit acts as security for your performance of your obligations as a tenant under the terms of the tenancy agreement. This deposit will be returned to you at the end of your tenancy term without interest and subject to any deductions that may be necessary to compensate the Landlord for any breach of the tenancy agreement.
