Tenants

Before commencing with the tenancy we will need to obtain satisfactory references from your employer and/or a previous or current landlord. There may also be instances when we require a personal reference or guarantor. We may also use the services of an independent referencing agency to obtain and evaluate these references. Personal & photographic identification may also be required, such as a passport or driving licence.

Once the terms have been agreed by both parties and satisfactory references received, the relevant documentation will need to be signed by you and the landlord.

From 1st June 2019, Tenants will no longer be charged Admin & Referencing Fees.

You must consult us prior to obtaining a pet.

Before the start of the tenancy, an inventory is prepared detailing the contents and condition of the property. You will be provided with a copy and so will the landlord.

Once the tenancy has been signed and rents & deposits have cleared, the tenancy can proceed. The inventory clerk will meet you at the property on the start date of the tenancy and give you the keys to the property.

If you find any problems with the property you are renting, you should contact us immediately. Once we have been informed of any issues/faults we will advise the landlord and await their instruction.

The landlord of the property is responsible for insuring the building and any furnishings that come with it. You will be responsible for insuring your own contents/personal possessions stored within the rented property.

Prior to the commencing of the tenancy, we will require a deposit and the first rental payment, a month in advance. Your deposit will be registered under the tenancy deposit protection scheme (TDS), which is a scheme accredited by the Government.

As part of the Housing Act 2004, the Government has introduced tenancy deposit protection for all Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) in England and Wales where a deposit is taken. From April 6th 2007, all deposits paid under an AST have had to be protected within 14 calendar days of receipt by the agent/landlord.

Uk Property Sourcing is a member of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. All deposits are protected through this scheme. The Tenancy Deposit Scheme has been established under the Housing Act 2004.

It requires landlords to register details of the start and end of all Assured Shorthold Tenancies on which they take a deposit. The Dispute Service (TDS) runs this particular scheme and is required to supply summarised details of all tenancies to [the Department of] Communities and Local Government (CLG).
