Landlord eligibility
The property must meet our required standards. An inspection would need to be undertaken by us before any agreement is signed.
We would require a copy of the current gas safety certificate, energy performance certificate, tenancy agreement, electrical certificate and fire safety certificate if applicable.
We would have nomination rights for the tenants put in the property.
The landlord must show evidence of ownership of the rented property. (If the property is subject to a mortgage, the landlord must inform the lender of their intention to let the property, otherwise the terms of their mortgage may be breached).
The rent cannot be higher than the Local Housing Allowance rate applicable at the time of letting.
The incentive payment includes any deposit that the landlord wishes to take. No further deposit will be made by us for the initial tenant but a bond equivalent to six weeks' local housing allowance could be made for any subsequent tenants if a loss has occurred.
Each tenancy must be let for a minimum period of 12 months. The tenancy agreement is directly between the landlord and the tenant.
The incentive does not constitute property management but should this service be required then we would advise the landlord to contact a local letting agency.
