Checks and references
Once your credit status and references have been checked, we will draw up a tenancy agreement to be signed by all parties. You’re almost there now. Pay one month’s rent and a deposit, and you’re free to move in. That deposit will be placed into a tenancy deposit protection scheme. When you leave the property, assuming no damage has been done to the place, your money will be returned in full.
If you’re sharing the rent, you will be jointly liable. That means if one of you leaves the rental agreement early, the remaining tenants will need to pay the total rental amount.
