If you are about to rent out your property you
may find that our letting pack is useful. As well as the tenancy agreement itself, this
contains a number of other helpful documents. The pack contains the following :-
Tenancy Agreement
This is
the same as the tenancy which can be downloaded from elsewhere in this web site
- click
here to be taken back to that page if you wish
Notice to Quit
Two
different forms are enclosed - one for use at the expiry of the initial fixed
term and one for use to bring to an end the tenancy after end of the initial
fixed term. Click here for
more information
Interview Form
It is
important that you interview your prospective tenants to assess their
suitability. It is helpful to do this using a form to ensure that you ask them
all similar questions - and to ensure you do not forget to ask a question.
You can either complete the form during the interview or ask the prospective
tenant to complete this beforehand
Reference Letter
You
should take up references for the tenant. This letter is an example of the sort
of letter you would write
Standing Order Mandate
We
would recommend that you collect the rent by standing order. You should get this
signed before allowing the tenant into occupation
Break Clause
Sometimes it is agreed that the tenant will have the right to terminate the
agreement before expiry of the fixed term. If this is agreed then this clause
can be added to the tenancy agreement - just copy and paste it in and make any
necessary adjustments to the clause numbering
Insurance
Don't forget that if you are letting out your property you need to have
specialist Landlords insurance. Click on this one of these links to get a no
obligation quotation from

Ground 1 & Ground 2 Notices
If there is a mortgage on the property these are sometimes required by the
mortgage lender. Click
