Information for Tenants

Berkeley Property Management (Bristol) Ltd requires a deposit to be paid subject to the terms and conditions contained within the tenancy agreement. The deposit is then protected within the ‘My Deposits’ government recognised deposit scheme. For further information please visit www.mydeposits.co.uk.

N.B. The deposit is refundable at the end of the tenancy less any deductions made for damages and rent arrears.

Rent is payable in advance by standing order.

Rent is exclusive of other outgoings such as water, sewage, electricity (including common supplies), gas & telephone. Each property has separate supplies for all services. When you move into the property please ensure that you take a meter reading and advise the service companies accordingly.

The Tenant is responsible for the payment of bills generated for the supply and consumption of any services such as Gas, Electricity, Telephone, Water etc. The Tenant shall not do anything that may cause the disconnection of any of these supplies. The Tenant agrees not to change any utility supplier without notifying the agent/landlord.

We endeavour to ensure that all properties are handed over in a clean/tidy condition at the start of tenancy. However, please be aware that in most cases previous tenants may only have vacated the day prior to your start date so you may have cleaning and necessary maintenance being carried out around you.

No keys will be handed over to any named tenants until the tenancy agreement is signed and all monies and all relevant documents pertaining to your tenancy have been received.

All students must have a UK based guarantor or seek the service of a guarantee provider i.e Housing Hands or the full fixed term rent will be required in advance.

Upon choosing one of our properties we shall carry out the following: –

• Drawing up the Tenancy Agreement
• Deposit Protection
• Compiling the Inventory complete with photographs
• Referencing
• Credit check
