Once satisfactory references have been obtained you will be contacted by the Property Manager responsible for the property to arrange a tenancy start date. On this date all parties to the agreement must attend the office dealing with the property to sign the tenancy agreement and to complete a standing order mandate for the payment of future rent.
Payment will be required for apportioned rent and the dilapidation deposit. The total amount will be detailed on a statement which will be provided prior to the commencement date and this should be paid either:
• 4 days prior if paid by electronic transfer.
• 7 days prior if paid by personal cheque.
• On the day by banker’s draft or cash.
A covering letter will be sent with the statement which will explain how this works in more depth, as well as providing bank details should you wish to do an electronic transfer via online or telephone banking.
You will then be given the keys, a copy of the tenancy agreement and a copy of the inventory, if available, otherwise this will normally be sent to you within a couple of days of occupation.
