Rent: Usually payable quarterly or
calendar monthly in advance. Cleared funds to be received by the due date.
Please ask for a standing order form if this method of payment is preferred.
Rent is exclusive of charges for telephone, gas, electricity, council tax and in
most cases water rates and heating.
Term: The minimum term for long lets
is six months and generally properties are let on an annual basis. General and
business release clauses are inserted into contracts by
negotiation.
Deposit: Six weeks of the agreed rent, usually held by
Plaza Estates as stakeholder. Monies will be refunded after the termination of
the tenancy once both parties have agreed any dilapidation charges which will be
deducted accordingly. We are members of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme
(TDS.)
Utilities: Plaza Estates will notify the utility companies of the
transfer of accounts in advance of the tenancy. If you have not held accounts
for supply of the above in the UK previously a deposit may be required. We will
also notify the local authority with regard to council tax.
TV Licence:
The Tenant is responsible for paying the licence fee for any television set in
the property during the tenancy.
Inventory: The Landlord usually pays
for the inventory check-in and the Tenant pays for the inventory to be checked
at the termination of the tenancy. It is usual for an independent inventory
clerk to be appointed in order to provide an unbiased report.
Fees: As
Tenant you will not be responsible for the payment of our fees, however, a
charge will be made for the Tenancy Agreement. Please check with our staff for
the current charge.
References: We will be required to take references
on any prospective Tenant, usually from a UK bank or building society, an
employer or personal referee and where possible one from a previous Landlord or
Landlords' Agent.
