Agreement
Prepared by Kingsland Estates. Submitted to both parties for signing and to be returned undated.
Rent and Deposit
Before the tenant moves in to the property they will give us one month's rent and one month's deposit. We will deduct our commission from this and then send you the balance once agreements have been exchanged. Future rents will go directly from the Tenant's bank account to yours via a standing order on the same day each month. If we manage the property on your behalf the funds will be paid in to our Client Account and then forwarded to you.
Utilities/Telephone
These are the tenant's responsibility however, please make sure you take meter readings on the day the tenants move in and inform the relevant authorities that you will no longer be responsible. Please could you let the tenants or ourselves have the relevant supplier's details and reference account numbers to avoid any problems with connections.
Household Insurance
This is your responsibility however, it is up to the tenants to insure their own personal belongings.
Council Tax
This is also the tenant's responsibility however, please inform the council of the change of interest.
Inventory/Check In
The inventory will need to be drawn up by yourself before the commencement of the tenancy. On the day the tenant moves in it will need to be checked with the tenant and both of you will sign it. You should keep a copy and give a copy to the tenant. You will need this when they check out. If necessary we can arrange for a professional inventory to be carried out.
On the moving in day please could you explain how the heating/appliances etc work and leave any instruction manuals that you may have.
You will also need to give the tenant your contact details in case of any problems. If we manage the property the tenant will only need to contact ourselves.
For clarification of any of these points please don't hesitate to call us.
