An application form must be completed and an administration fee paid in cash - (see above) PLEASE NOTE THIS FEE IS NOT REFUNDABLE. We require 2 forms of identity i.e. passport, driving licence etc. It must be borne in mind that even though your references may be satisfactory; the final choice of tenants is in the hands of the landlord. In some instances we may have several suitable applicants for properties and we are unable to disclose our client's reasons for rejecting a particular applicant. |

Guarantor

Each
applicant who expects to be in receipt of housing benefit will require
a suitable guarantor. This should be someone who is financially
secure, not in receipt of benefits AND a home owner. Please note
that the keys will not be released until the guarantor has signed
the tenancy agreement.

of the terms of the tenancy agreement. Your deposit is protected
