APPLY
To apply for a property you will need to complete a ‘tenancy reference form’ which can be downloaded from our website and needs to be returned to us as soon as possible. Your application may take up to 2 weeks, as references and credit checks are sometimes applied for, however it is usually completed much sooner. Below are the reference forms:
Tenant Application Form (Rent Shield) (1489)
Company Application Form (Rent Shield) (337)
Guarantor Application Form (Rent Shield) (532)
HOW LONG CAN I STAY?
Our tenancy agreements run for 6 or 12 month periods. These may be renewed should you wish to continue your tenancy. You need to apply in writing at least 2 months before the end of your tenancy should you wish to renew it for a further period.
We may accept stays of shorter duration. However, payment is usually required in advance for short stays. Generally, International tenants are required to pay up front, but this may vary depending on individual circumstances.
HOW MUCH IS THE DEPOSIT?
Your deposit is equal to one months rent in advance. Before your tenancy begins we need to receive your deposit in cleared funds by any of the methods of payment mentioned below. Payments can be made simply by clicking a link on our e-mail request for payment, and following the instructions. This is often the method of choice for international payments. All payments are made through a secure server. A receipt is immediately emailed to you for all direct payments. Please note that deposits are held against the cost of any cleaning, repairs or replacements that are necessary at the end of the tenancy to restore the property to the condition it was in at the beginning of the tenancy. The dilapidation deposit is never to be used as the last month’s rent and any attempt to do so will incur a late rent penalty. Once calculated the balance of the deposit will be forwarded to the address provided by the vacating tenant. Your deposit will be posted to you normally within 6 weeks after your tenancy. It may be returned much sooner if you can provide confirmation that all utility providers’ bills have been settled.
