Administration/Application Process
A guarantor may be need in the event of referencing coming back as a decline as opposed to a pass. A guarantor would be a person who is prepared to become legally bound to a tenancy agreement. Their main responsibility would be to step in financially and pay any rent due in the event a tenant has defaulted on paying rent. They must be UK based and would be referenced separately to the tenant. We will obtain references from your employer and a previous/current Landlord if applicable. (A guarantor may also be required). In addition some Landlords request copies of bank statements. You will need to provide personal and photographic identification (such as a passport, driving licence and utility bills). Once the necessary checks have been completed, you will be advised if your application is acceptable. Please note, should your application be unsuccessful, the administration fee is non refundable.
Tenancy Agreement
A Tenancy Agreement will be drawn up either on a short or long term basis and details will be agreed between the parties for commencement dates and rent payment due date. The relevant documentation will need to be signed by the tenant and Landlord/Agent. You will be informed prior to the Tenancy Agreement being signed whether the property will be managed by Brinsons or managed by the Landlord.
Payments
This is made up as follows:
Inventory/Schedule of Condition
We will undertake and produce a detailed inventory of the property together with a Schedule of Condition prior to the tenant moving into the property. Sufficient time and opportunity will be allowed for the tenants to check the documents for any discrepancies. When a tenant vacates the property a detailed inventory and check out report will be completed and a report issued to the tenant.
Deposit
Your deposit will be held by The DPS (Deposit Protection Service) under the Custodial Scheme
Insurance/Council Tax/Utilities
We will notify the relevant council, water and utility companies of the move, however the tenant will be responsible for notifying any telephone providers, arranging contents insurance and any other additional services they require.
Tenants Obligations
The law implies a condition into every tenancy agreement that the tenant must use their home in a ‘tenant-like’ way. This applies whether you have a written or an oral tenancy agreement. This generally means:
The tenancy agreement may also set out some express terms on what your responsibilities are for repairs, for example, that you are responsible for decorating your home.
Property Inspections
With our management service we are required to carry out regular visits to the property. The main purpose of such visits is to check the property is being kept to a standard the Landlord would require and to give the tenant the opportunity to make us aware of any potential problems.
Emergency Maintenance
Our offices are open from 9am to 5.30pm should you have any maintenance issues, please contact our maintenance co-ordinator on 02920 867711.
For any out of hours maintenance issues, please contact;
End of Tenancy
At the end of the tenancy an Inventory and Final Report will be carried out (the tenant has the right to be present for this if they would like to do so). If there are any defects or damage to the property these will be brought to the tenant’s attention and quotes will be obtained to rectify the issue and money will be requested from the deposit to cover this. If no issues are noted the full deposit will be returned to the tenant.
