These notes will help you to complete Part 9 of the application form.
Please tell us if the tenants are given a written Tenancy Agreement or similar document which sets out the terms of their contracts with the landlord.
Please tell us whether a written record is made of the furniture, fixtures and fittings in each letting and the condition they are in (an inventory) when tenants move into the property.
Please indicate whether the tenants receive a written record of the rent that has been paid. Unless records are given regularly to all tenants, please tick the ‘No’ box.
Please indicate whether the tenants are given a written procedure which explains what they should do if they have a complaint. This could be a part of the Tenancy Agreement or a separate document.
If the tenants are given a 24 hour telephone number to use in an emergency, please indicate this and give us the telephone number.
If tenants are asked to pay a deposit at the beginning of the tenancy, please indicate this.
If a deposit is requested, tell us whether the tenants are given a written procedure for dealing with any dispute about whether the deposit should be returned in full or in part when the tenancy ends. This procedure could be part of the Tenancy Agreement or a separate document.
