When applying for a tenancy, you’ll typically need to provide several pieces of legal documentation, including:

• Proof of identity (e.g., passport or driver’s license).
• Proof of current address (e.g., utility bill or bank statement).
• Proof of income (e.g., payslips or employment contract).
• References from previous landlords or letting agents.

These documents help us verify your identity, assess your financial stability, and confirm your suitability as a tenant.

• For International Professionals or Students, we may require additional documents such as:
• Biometric Residence Permit: Proving your Right to Rent and work in the UK.
• For students who haven’t yet received their BRP, we may need the CAS letter issued your University.

• As part of the application process, we’ll assess your affordability based on your income and expenses.
• Typically, your total monthly income should be at least two and a half times the monthly rent amount.
• We may also consider other factors such as credit history and employment status to ensure that you can comfortably afford the rental property.

• To assess your suitability as a tenant, we’ll conduct reference checks, which may include:
  • Employment verification to confirm your job status and income.
  • Previous landlord references to assess your rental history and reliability.
  • Credit checks to evaluate your financial stability and creditworthiness.
• These checks help us ensure that you’ll be a responsible and dependable tenant.

• In some cases, especially for students or tenants with limited rental history, we may require a guarantor.
• A guarantor is someone who agrees to cover your rent payments or any damages to the property if you’re unable to do so.
• Guarantors typically need to provide similar documentation and undergo referencing checks to assess their suitability.

• We understand that pets are part of the family, which is why we strive to accommodate tenants with pets whenever possible.
• However, it’s important to inform us in advance if you have pets, as some properties may have specific pet policies or restrictions.
• We may require additional pet deposits or pet-related clauses in the tenancy agreement to ensure that both you and your pet can enjoy your new home comfortably.

• Before moving into the property, you’ll typically be required to pay a security deposit, which is usually equivalent to one month’s rent.
• The deposit serves as financial protection for the landlord against any damages to the property or unpaid rent.
• Upon the end of the tenancy, the deposit will be returned to you, minus any deductions for damages or unpaid rent, subject to the terms of the tenancy agreement.

• Your Standing Order: Rent is paid in advance, with the final payment due at the start of your last month in the property. It is your responsibility to cancel the standing order mandate to prevent any further rent payments after your tenancy ends. This can be done conveniently through online banking, telephone banking, or by visiting your local branch.

• Returning Your Keys: All keys provided at the beginning of your tenancy must be returned to our office by 5 pm on the last day of your tenancy. Please note that tenants remain responsible for rent until all keys are returned, calculated on a daily basis.

• Inventory Check-Out: The check-out report, conducted by an inventory clerk, will be scheduled for the next available working day after the end of your tenancy. While your presence is not mandatory, if you wish to attend, please notify us at least 7 days in advance to coordinate a suitable time. The inventory clerk will document the property’s condition at this time, and no alterations can be made at this stage.

• Return of Your Deposit: Upon receiving the check-out report, we will assess whether any deductions are necessary, consulting with the landlord as needed. Please allow up to 10 working days for us to receive the report. If deductions are proposed, we will notify you within 21 days, providing a detailed breakdown of costs. Regardless of deductions, you will need to log into the TDS website to confirm the return of your deposit.
