Basic Leeds Renting Process
The Renting Process
Professionals - What you need to provide
- A reference from your employer - (ie, proof that you're employed)
- A reference from a previous landlord, if applicable
- Credit Check form (or Guarantor Form if you have no credit history)
- Copy of your I.D. (driver's licence, passport, birth certificate)
- Proof of address
- Standing Order confirmation (all rent payments are by Standing Order, so we'll need proof that you've set this up with your bank/building society)
- Bond/ 1st month rent (you will normally be required to pay both in advance- the Bond is usually a little more than a month's rent).
Step By Step Rental Process For Professionals
1. Reserve
Once you've found a place you want, pay the reservation fee (£35.00 per tenant) and sign the 'Sign-up Agreement'. This will reserve the property until your rental application is approved. This is a non-refundable fee, a further fee of £30.00 is applicable on signing the tenancy agreement if your application is successful.
2. Paperwork
We then give you 7 days to provide us with the required paperwork (CLICK HERE). These documents can be downloaded from the site or picked up at our office.
3. Decision
A decision is then made within 3 working days and the tenancy agreement can be signed.
You will only be declined if your guarantor or yourself fail a credit cheque or if you fail to provide us the requested paperwork. Please note that we may use our discretion as to whether we accept or reject your application despite a negative response from the credit rating agency.
4. New Tenant
Once your application is successful you will need to come in person to sign the tenancy agreement and pay the £50.00 sign-up fee.
