## Description

**Information For Tenants** - Holding deposit:  Secures the property subject to background / referencing / credit checks etc. The cost of the holding deposit will be equivalent to approximately 1 weeks rent and will be deducted from your first months' rent. However, it is non-refundable should you decide you no longer wish to rent the property. If our office decides you are not suitable for the property, we will return the holding deposit, unless you have provided any dishonest information during your application.

- Deposit (previously called the bond):  All of our deposits are protected with My Deposits' which is a government sponsored scheme. The cost of the deposit will be equivalent to no more than 6 weeks rent.

- First Month's rent:  The date that you sign your tenancy is the date you are required to pay your rent. The first month's money will be due a few days prior to signing your tenancy and then due monthly (for the month ahead) by standing order. Rents are usually quoted per calendar month (PCM).

As a tenant you will be responsible for all utility bills unless you have a written agreement to state otherwise.
