CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
included in your rent is a weekly cleaning service of all communal spaces. The house is also inspected regularly to keep general maintenance up-to-date. We offer a 24/7 contact number for emergencies and use trusted trades for all work. We provide a gardener who visits once or twice a month to weed and keep the outside areas clan and tidy.

HOLDING DEPOSIT
After your viewing, if both parties are happy to proceed, we will ask you to send us a holding deposit. This will secure the room while we reference check you. The holding deposit is not a cost and can be deducted from your first rent payment once your referencing is complete. The holding deposit is £125 for all rooms.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
If your reference check is successful, you will then be asked to send us a security deposit equal to one month’s rent. All deposits are registered into the ‘mydeposits’ Government scheme. We will then provide you with the registration documents and accompanying information via e-sign.

CONTRACT
We offer six month assured shorthold tenancy (AST) contracts. After 6 months, these become ‘one month rolling contracts’. We will provide you with at least two months’ notice (apart from where temporary Covid-19 regulations alter this) and you must provide us with one month’s notice to leave.

RENT PAYMENTS
Rent is due on the first of the month by standing order. Any part month at the start or end of your tenancy is calculated on a pro rata basis and your first rent payment will be due by your check in time/day.

HMO HOUSEMATE PROFILES
We provide accommodation for working professionals in Exeter. We are unable to accept any children visiting, any pets or any smokers. We are obliged to carry out ‘Right to Rent’ checks, usually through evidence of passports.

Rent
Security deposits (limited to five week’s rent)
£50 (or higher if reasonable costs are incurred) to change the tenancy if requested by the tenant.
Payments for early termination of the tenancy, where the early termination is requested by the tenant (usually the loss in rent resulting from a tenant’s decision to leave and/or the costs of re-advertising, referencing, or reasonable costs to an agent (such as referencing and marketing costs.) A tenant must pay rent as required under their tenancy agreement until a suitable replacement tenant is found. A tenant can be held liable for rent until their fixed-term agreement has ended or, in the case of a statutory periodic tenancy, they have given the notice required under their tenancy agreement. However, the landlord will not charge more than the rent they would have received before the end of the tenancy and/or will not benefit from two rent payments on the same room at any one time.
Utilities, broadband, TV, phone and Council Tax (Non applicable unless a whole house electrical and gas bill totals above £200 per month, when the additional amount will be required of the collective tenants.)

Interest on late rent payments (once those payments are at least 14 days late)

Where a tenant breaches their agreement and damage is caused as a result, the landlord can still be compensated via deductions from the deposit or court action.

The tenant is also liable for damages during the tenancy.

The Landlord reserves the right to increase the rent at any point after the initial six months of the contract. Notice of a rent increase will be provided at least a month in advance and will be communicated in writing by email to the tenant.
