The process.
When you apply for one of our clients' rented properties we will:
• Ask you to complete the online application for each occupant.
• Provide us with a guide as to when you would like to move in.
The process.

•You will have to provide valid current identification for each application, and prove your right to rent in the UK (this may include providing us with a relevant current Visa.)
The process.
• The landlord decides whether to accept you as a tenant. Applying for a property does not guarantee that you will be accepted.
If you pass the application process we will:
• Agree a moving in date with you.
The process.
• Ask you to pay the first month's rent plus the relevant bond, prior to meeting you at the property to move you in, using either card payment or cleared funds.
• Meet you to move you in to the property.
Tenancy deposit scheme and prescribed information.
We will lodge your bond, with the TDS (Tenancy Deposit Scheme), and within thirty days of you occupying the property will provide you with legislatively compliant prescribed information regarding this service, and provide you with a personal log-in for your certificate.
To end the tenancy.
Refer to your own tenancy agreement for details of your notice period. However, it is usual practice for a tenant to stay for the minimum period that they sign up for.
If you have a 6 month initial term you can give one months' notice to vacate, at the end of your fifth month, prior to your rent due date. If you subsequently move onto a periodic tenancy, then the same notice period and conditions apply.
However, if you leave early you will still be responsible for the property for the remainder of the agreement.
A Landlord may serve notice on you to take the property back:
• If you fail to pay the rent.
• If you fail to look after the property.
• If you carry out illegal acts.
• If you are a nuisance to others.
• If you move others (including pets) into the property without permission, or if you sub-let.
A Landlord may serve notice on you to take the property back:
• If you fail to adhere to the terms of your tenancy agreement.
• The landlord is obliged to honour your tenancy agreement if you prove to be a good tenant; but may give two months' notice, if they require the property back for any reason.
Inspections
Depending on who manages the property; the landlord or the agent is allowed to enter the property, (subject to the relevant notice) to inspect the property from time to time, and to arrange essential repairs.
