PWR Letting Agents Nottingham and Mansfield – Formalities for renting a property

Properties for rent from PWR Letting Agents Nottingham and Mansfield – Formalities

Inventory and Schedule of Condition

A full Inventory & Schedule of Condition is prepared prior to the commencement of all tenancies and it is important that you notify us within 7 days of receiving your inventory, on the amendment form provided, if there are any discrepancies, otherwise we will assume that you are happy with the condition of the property as detailed therein.  We recommend that you keep the Inventory & Schedule of Condition and the amendment form (if applicable) in a safe place as it forms the basis of any claims for damages at the end of the tenancy.

Security Deposit

Many tenants are concerned about their security deposit which is held to cover the cost of any damages, missing items, cleaning, etc. As members of the RICS we take our role very seriously and when it comes to the end of a tenancy, we endeavor to be fair and reasonable in our assessment of any damages.  All deposits held by PWR are registered with The Dispute Service tenancy deposit scheme which effectively protects your deposit and also provides a third party dispute resolution service if we are unable to agree any deductions at the end of a tenancy.  We also offer a comprehensive Contents Insurance policy especially designed for tenants which includes damage to the landlord's contents and alternative accommodation should the property become uninhabitable. Full details are available upon request.

Rents

Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and are payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account.

Debit & Credit card fees:

There is a mandatory surcharge of £ 0.45 for all debit card transactions and 2.5% of the transaction amount for all credit card transactions.

Utilities and Council Tax registration:

We will register all named on the Tenancy Agreement with utilities and council tax authorities - meter readings will be taken on the day your Tenancy begins and can be made available to you at your request. If there is a discrepancy with a particular bill we stress that you should speak to the utility company or council tax department directly.

Landline telephones, SKY/Virgin Media and TV Licensing:

Although we do have a partner for landline telephones and broadband connections and charges, we otherwise are not involved in the registration of any of the services listed in this section. As a Tenant, you are responsible for any installation costs incurred when taking up these services.
