Tenants
In accordance with the Tenants Fee ban which comes into force for tenancies commencing after 1st June 2019, incoming tenants will only be required to pay their first month’s rent and deposit in advance.
Tenants will be subject to the Right to Rent Immigration Act and financial and landlord referencing via an independent third party provider who will be introduced to the tenant upon the successful acceptance of an offer.
Under the Tenant Fee ban act, Pedder are able to request a one week holding deposit to secure the tenants offer on the property. The act specifies that the tenancy must commence within fifteen days of the holding deposit being taken unless this is mutually agreed by both parties in writing i.e. via email. Pedder will either refund the holding deposit upon completion of the references and receipt of the first month’s rent. Alternatively the holding deposit can be added to the first month’s rent.
A full list of default fees will be made available to tenants upon registering with Pedder.
