666 properties to let in West Sussex

If your offer is accepted on a property to rent through us then we will require you to pay a reservation fee of 1 weeks rent which enables us to remove the property from the market, cancel any further viewings and start the referencing process. If you later decide not to sign the tenancy agreement or don't pass the referencing checks then the reservation fee is not refundable. The reservation fee would be refundable (less any costs incurred) if the landlord decides to withdraw. You will be required to show is your photo id (Passport or EU driving licence) and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement).
Tenants are required to pay a 5 week security deposit (4 further weeks rent in addition to the 1 already paid) before the tenancy starts which will be held for the duration of the tenancy with the TDS (Tenancy Deposit Scheme) as well as 1 months rent in advance.
