Rent
The rent for the property is currently £295 per
calendar month, paid in advance. There is also a security deposit of
£500 to be paid by all tenants, which will be held by the Landlord until the
tenant moves out. It will be returned in full assuming the property is
left in the condition in which it was taken. These two amounts add to £795,
which may be paid by cash or cheque before moving in. Subsequent rental
payments will preferably be made by direct bank transfer of £295
on the same day each month.
Tenants will be expected to sign a 6 month shorthold lease agreement. A copy
can be downloaded here (14kB Word document). At the end
of the 6 month period, the rental agreement may be extended for further
6 month periods assuming the property is being kept in good order.
