the Landlord has accepted your application a Tenancy Agreement will be
drawn up between yourselves and the Landlord. Empire Estates deal with
all the relevant paperwork
Inventory
An Inventory of the property will be completed by a member of staff. The
final Inventory list is submitted to both the tenant and landlord and
details all contents of the property and the current condition.
Rent and Deposit
You will be required to pay a non-refundable holding deposit, which equals
one weeks rent. This will prevent the continued marketing of the property
for this period. An advance rental payment is also required prior to the
start of the tenancy which equals one months rent. Subject to you meeting
the terms under which the deposit was made, your deposit is returned within
30 days of you agreeing to end your tenancy. Please note that the deposit
cannot be used for the final month' rent.
