A landlord or agent can ask a tenant to pay a holding deposit to demonstrate their commitment to rent the property whilst they undertake relevant reference checks. They cannot ask for a holding deposit which is more than one week’s rent. A landlord or agent must refund the holding deposit if the tenant signs a tenancy agreement with them or if they decide to pull out of the arrangement with the tenant or fail to enter a tenancy agreement before the agreed deadline. A landlord or agent can retain the holding deposit if the tenant fails a right to rent check, provides false or misleading information, withdraws from the application process or if the landlord and agent take all reasonable steps to enter the tenancy but the tenant does not.
The deadline for agreement is the date by which agents/landlords and tenants should enter into a tenancy agreement after payment of the holding deposit. The default deadline for agreement is 15 days following the receipt of the holding deposit, but the landlord or agent may agree in writing a longer deadline with the tenant.
Pets
If a pet is agreed an additional rent of £35.00 per calendar month will apply (per pet).
Deposit (£1,380.82)
A refundable tenancy deposit capped at no more than five weeks’ rent, where the annual rental income is below £50,000 and six weeks’ rent for properties with an annual rental income of £50,000 or more; This is a refundable payment that a landlord or agent may ask a tenant to pay to be held as security for the performance of any obligations of the tenant or discharge of any liability arising under or in connection with the tenancy.
Rent/default
Rent is payable in advance.
The tenant is responsible for paying their rent on time. If they fail to do so, interest will be charged in line/no more than 3% above the Bank of England’s base rate if a rent payment is more than 14 days overdue for each day the payment is outstanding.
Keys/security devices
The tenant is responsible for ensuring that they look after the key/s for the property throughout the tenancy. If they fail to do so, they will be responsible for covering the costs of both replacement key/s and a locksmith if one is required. £15 per hour is chargeable by the Agent/Landlord in addition for arranging the service.
Variation of tenancy
If the tenant requests a change to their tenancy agreement, for example a change of sharer, a landlord or agent is entitled to charge up to £50 for the administration involved in amending the tenancy agreement or the amount of their reasonable costs, if that is higher.
Early termination
If a tenant requests to leave before the end of their tenancy a landlord or agent is entitled to charge an early termination fee, which must not exceed the loss they have suffered in permitting the tenant to leave early. This would usually mean that they must not charge any more than the rent they would have received before the tenancy reaches its end. A landlord or agent should aim to agree to any reasonable request to terminate the tenancy agreement early and should charge no more than to cover any likely void period. A tenant could still be required to pay rent at specified intervals as determined by their tenancy agreement until a replacement tenant is found.
Utilities
Tenants remain responsible for paying their bills, which could include council tax, utility payments (e.g. Gas, electricity, water), and communication services (e.g. Broadband, television license, phone). Where all or some of these payments are included within the rent, as set out under the terms of a tenancy agreement, a tenant cannot be required to pay for these services separately (but would still be required to pay any bills not included in the rent).
Check in/out
