The Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding document between the Landlord (Owner) and the Tenant (You). It sets out clearly defined rules of the property and the obligations of the Landlord and Tenant.

This is useful because if there are any disputes both the Landlord and Tenant will refer to the Tenancy Agreement.

The Tenancy Agreement is for 48 weeks (11 months).
Starting from the 1st August through to the 30th June.

If you would like to extend your Tenancy you must notify us as early as possible to ensure your room has not been let to someone else.

You can move in any time from the start of your Tenancy.
You may be able to move in earlier if the house is ready.
Please contact us regarding this.

If you cancel your Tenancy prior to moving in, you will lose your reservation fee unless you can find a suitable replacement. If you wish to leave the house during the Tenancy you can only do so once an acceptable replacement has been found.

No. You sign the Tenancy Agreement to say that you will only be liable for the rent for your room.
Should any of your housemates not pay their rent you will not be asked to compensate their failure to pay.

Yes, you will need to provide us with details of your parent or guardian who will be prepared to guarantee your rent. Guarantors stand as a guarantee for your rent payment and any other Tenancy obligations.

If a Tenant defaults the Guarantor is liable to pay the rent owed to the Landlord as well as any loses, expenses or damages where the Tenant fails to carry out his/ her obligations under the Tenancy agreement.

All Tenants must have their Tenancy obligations guaranteed before they can move into a property.

All our properties are offered on a strictly first come, first served basis. Once you have viewed a property and decided to take it, you can go to the OTHER DOCUMENTS section where you can read through the Tenancy Agreement.

Once you are happy to commit, you will need to pay a reservation fee (which will be carried forward as your deposit once the Tenancy begins), sign the Tenancy Agreement (a binding Contract), fill out a contact details form and then the property is reserved for you.

No, the TV licence is included in your rent.

Please go to our OTHER DOCUMENTS section for a full guide of what to bring with you.

At Your Perfect Pad, we pride ourselves on our fast response time to any problems you may have in the house. We expect any faults to be reported to us straight away and we are normally able to fix them the same day.

Otherwise, Endsleigh Insurance Limited can do competitively priced student insurance. To find out more about the cover visit www.endsleigh.co.uk

Security is one of our utmost priorities. All our houses are fitted with five lever deadlocks and anti-slip Yale locks on all external doors.

There are also locks on bedroom doors. During the Tenancy, it is your responsibility to ensure all doors and windows are locked when you are out of the house.

No. We do not allow any pets in our properties.

You can either pay your rent by standing order on the 1st of each month by completing the standing order mandate in the OTHER DOCUMENTS section or you can pay termly at the beginning of each semester.

If you think your rent will not be paid on time or you have any concerns about paying your rent, please contact us immediately.
