Tenant fees
In addition to paying rent for your property, you may also be required to make the following permitted payments:
Before the tenancy starts
Holding deposit: 1 week's rent
and/or
Deposit: 5 weeks' rent or where the rent is more than £50,000 per annum, 6 weeks' rent
During the tenancy
Payments to other third parties: such as council tax, utilities or payments for communications services.
Default charges: such as payments for the replacement of lost keys or interest on overdue rent.
Tenancy transaction charges: such as requests to vary or assign the tenancy - £50 Incl VAT.
*Early termination - there will be a pro-rata charge for the early termination of an agreement (where the landlord agrees to end the tenancy at your request earlier than the contract allows) to cover the landlord's reasonable costs to re-let the property, which will be based on the cost incurred for the set up of the original tenancy. These charges can include administration and commission charges equivalent of the letting fee already paid by your landlord to us, from the date you wish to end the tenancy until the date you could contractually end the tenancy (calculated as a daily rate).
After the tenancy
Breaches of the tenancy or tenancy agreement: such as damages or default payments
