Acceptance of references and the offer of a tenancy is at our discretion.

The Tenancy: The property will be let on an Assured Periodic Tenancy Agreement (apt). The tenancy continues on a rolling periodic basis until either party serves notice to terminate the agreement. To end the tenancy a tenant is required to provide a minimum of two month's notice, to end on the last day of a rent period. The landlord is required to serve a Section 8 notice to bring the tenancy to an end, using the relevant grounds for repossession.

The tenant is responsible for Council Tax for the tenancy period and for all charges for water and sewerage, gas, electricity, telephone or other utility/service providers' charges supplied to the tenant during the tenancy.

Please Note: It is not possible to use the deposit as rent for the final month.

Pets may not be acceptable for a number of reasons including allergies/medical reasons, conditions within the property lease, lack of outside space, communal grounds or close proximity to a main road. If a pet is accepted the landlord is permitted to request that the tenant has the relevant pet insurance in place in order to protect the property.
