Once a Tenant’s offer has been accepted and terms agreed you will be required to provide a Pre-tenancy application fee equivalent to one week’s rent.
Any offer accepted by the landlord is subject to satisfactory reference and you will be required to complete an online reference application form which will be processed by a third party independent reference company.
An application form must be completed by each person wishing to be named as Tenant and submitted online to the relevant reference company. The completed report normally takes between 4 and 5 working days unless the referencing company have any queries and in which case they will contact you direct. The cost for each reference is approximately £42 inclusive of VAT and is payable by the Tenant.
We shall require a copy of each Tenants driving licence or passport together with a copy of a current utility account confirming your address.
The deposit will normally be equivalent to 6 weeks rent. Should you wish to include a pet, with the Landlord’s approval, the deposit will be equivalent to 8 weeks rent. The deposit will be held by Laurent Residential as stakeholders for the duration of the Tenancy and lodged with the appropriate Deposit Scheme. Laurent Residential is a member of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). The Tenant will be provided with a TDS certificate confirming that their deposit has been registered.
The Tenant is liable for the checkout charge which is dependent on the size of the property and whether it is furnished or not but the minimum charge is £90.00. An accurate figure can be provided at the time.
We are able to provide approximate charges, but it should be noted that this will also depend on the condition the Tenant presents the property in at the time of check-out.
At the inventory check-in the meter readings will be taken and we will inform the relevant utility companies that the Tenant has taken over the relevant accounts. We are unable to communicate with the telephone /broadband account and this will need to be dealt with by the Tenants as these companies will not accept any instruction from a third party.
