Terms and Conditions 1. Administration / Legal Fees There is no charge for Administration Fee. Charges for reference checks, credit checks and inventory fees from the tenants are considered Premium Fees and illegal by legislation in Scotland. 2. Part Deposit Advance A part deposit advance of £200 is payable on application per person applying for the property. This payment ensures that Rockford Properties will not carry out any further viewings whilst your application is being processed. This amount will convert to a partial security deposit when the Tenant is approved, signs the lease and takes occupancy. 3. References We will check references based on the details that you have supplied to us. These references may be passed to the Landlord so that he/she can make a decision on granting a tenancy. You are responsible for any administration charges levied by your own bank or landlord in relation to obtaining a reference. 4. Deposit A deposit equivalent to at least one months’ rent must be paid in cleared funds when you sign the Tenancy Agreement along with an additional £75 per person on the lease. The Tenancy Deposit Regulations require the Landlord to pay the Deposit into a Tenancy Deposit scheme within 30 working days of commencement of the tenancy and provide the Tenant with certain information. Any interest payable will be retained by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. The Tenancy Agreement entered into is between the Landlord and the Tenant and, therefore, the Tenant cannot hold Rockford Properties liable for any deductions made from the deposit which may be in dispute. 5. Payment Of Rent The rent is payable by standing order to be paid on the due date as stated in the Tenancy Agreement. This means that the standing order must be set up so that the funds leave your account three days before the rent is due. 6. Inventory Condition Report An Inventory Condition Report will be supplied for this let. The Tenant shall check the contents of the premises within 7 days of the date of commencement Of the lease and shall notify Rockford Properties in writing of any discrepancies.
