Tenant Fees
A change in legislation from the 1st June 2019 means tenants will no longer be asked to pay for their referencing for a rental property. However, a holding deposit equivalent to one weeks rent will be required if you show an interest in a property and would like to be referenced for your suitability. This money will be taken off your first monthly payment should you pass the referencing process and wish to continue with the letting. If, however you fail, give false information or you change your mind and no longer wish to proceed with the property, the money will not be refunded.
We wish you happiness in your rental home.
