Welcome to AJG Property.
The key things you need to know are:
We prefer long term tenants.
All of our properties are non-smoking.
References - Please provide the following references when you want to rent a property
• Current employment details
• A character reference,
• A written reference from your current landlord/letting agent.
• We will also carry out a credit reference at a cost of £20 per individual.
Lease – This is a standard Short Assured Tenancy Agreement for not less than six months. All adults residing at the chosen property will be named on the lease.
Deposit – The deposit is typically 1.5 times the monthly rent for the property. This deposit shall be returned after expiry of the lease, subject to written confirmation from the relevant utility suppliers that you have paid all outstanding bills. It is also subject to deductions for agreed loss, breakage or damage to the property.
Holding Deposit – A holding deposit is payable immediately to reserve a property. This is normally about half the monthly rent for the property. This becomes part of your deposit when you move in.
Rent – The first month's rent and balance of the deposit are payable in cash on the date of entry. Rents are subsequently collected by Standing Order. It is your responsibility to ensure that a standing order is place to pay this. You must give prior warning if the monthly rent cannot be paid. Failure to do so shall result in the issue of a monthly rent reminder (at a cost of £25.00) ten days after each monthly due date. Delayed payment of rent may also result in interest charges as per the signed Lease Agreement.
Inventory – Each property has a comprehensive mutually agreed inventory, which you will be asked to sign prior to entry. This will be checked at the end of the tenancy.
Guarantors – Required if you earn less than £18,000pa or are on benefits.
Utilities – AJG Property will advise the utility providers and the Council of all new Tenant details at the leased property.
Insurance – You are responsible for insuring all your personal effects and belongings brought into the property, and arranging necessary personal liability cover and accidental damage insurance. You may also be liable for payment of the excess charge due under any claim on the Landlord's insurance for any damage to Landlord’s property.
Smoke Alarms – Every property has a mains operated smoke alarm.
Inspections – AJG Property will inspect the property at approx one and three months after the entry date. The time and date of these inspections will be mutually agreed in advance with you.
Moving Out – You need to give two months written notice that you do not intend to renew the lease agreement.
Check Out – We will inspect the property with you prior to you leaving to agree the condition of the property, check the inventory and when you leave to do final meter readings. Please make sure that the property is thoroughly cleaned and all bills are paid.
Mail – It’s a good idea to redirect your mail when you leave. The Post Office will help arrange this. Any mail received after you leave will not be forwarded or returned to sender.
