Guide for Tenants
Finding a property
The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and
about the accommodation you require. We then search our database for
suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so
that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise
to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties
are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we cannot assist dss
claimants. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.
Other Areas
If you are looking for a property to rent outside Yorkshire, please go to
our UK Network page.
Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and
weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who
can give advice and answer any questions you may have.
Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying
a 'holding deposit', usually equivalent to one week's rent. Assuming that
the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before
you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be
refunded. However the deposit will be forfeit if you decide not to proceed
for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information
in your application.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or
college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require a
personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit check
will be undertaken. We may use the services of an independent referencing
company to obtain and evaluate these references.
Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance.
The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas,
Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing
order to our company bank account.
Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month's rental must be paid, and
will be held by ourselves as stakeholders in a secure client account
throughout the tenancy term. This is held to cover damage, breakages, and
any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please
note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to
cover rent.
