<b>tenant fees</b> As most people know by now the Welsh Government have banned the charging of fees to tenants which is very helpful when moving costs are high these days. However there may be some fees payable by tenants.Its only fair that some costs caused by a tenants default can be charged to the tenants during their tenancy and a breakdown of these possible charges are listed here. Obviously rent & deposits are payable. There is, however, a maximum holding deposit chargeable to tenants when their references are being checked etc. Thisis one weeks rent. If a tenant requests an early termination of their tenancy a landlord can legally hold that tenant to pay for the remainder of the fixed term. Sometimes a negotiated early termination agreement can be accepted by both sides and this is usually a lower amount than the remaining rent. If rent is unpaid or paid late this is a Default on the tenancy and there can be charges levied. If, for example, you lose your key, it is only common sense that the replacement cost of that key is chargeable to the person that lost it, the tenant. During the tenancy there may need to be changes made to the agreement* at the tenants request and, if agreed by the landlord, this will not attract any charges. <b>Referencing</b> It is worth remembering that when you apply for a property references will be taken on you from your employer/accountant, current landlord, credit reference agency, any other income provider and, very occasionally, where the landlords employment is sensitive there may be crb checks undertaken although this is rare. If you cannot achieve the levels necessary to pass these references a Guarantor may be acceptable, they will have to also be referenced. Your Holding Deposit is refundable unlessfalse information is found to have been given, you pull out of the let pre tenancy, you fail to complete the application requirements within an agreed time limit (The Government says 2 weeks but this can be longer with express agreement) or if you fail the Governments Right to Rent requirements when Identity is checked. <b>Tenant Fees</b> <b>Occupational Contract</b> *Rental payments overdue by more than seven days will be subject to interest at the rate of 3% over the Bank of England base rate, calculated from the date the payment was due, up until the date payment is received. *The actual cost, reasonably incurred of changing, adding or removing any lock or replacing any keys or security devices arising if it is the contract holders fault, or the fault of an invitee of the contract holder, that such action is required. *Any breach of any part of paragraph (1) (2) or (3) of this term in the Occupation Contract may result in the contract holder being liable for any costs or losses as a result of the breach. These costs or losses include actual rent loss and contractor call out fees which the landlord may not otherwise be liable for. *The contract holder must not cause obstruction in any common areas which forms part of the dwelling. Any actual costs to remove such obstruction maybe payable by the contract holder. *Any repairs that the contract holder is liable for not undertaken promptly by them, the contract holder maybe liable for the actual costs, reasonably incurred, involved. *Any changes made by the contract holder without permission to the electrical installation, for example by changing light fittings, switches or adding sockets, may compromise electrical safety and may require an electrical check and/or remedial works, the actual cost, reasonably incurred, the contract holder maybe liable for. *Additional Written Statement £25 plus vat (£30 in vat)
