Renting Terms & Conditions

A Set-up Fee of £110 is payable when you have found a property that meets your requirements and the landlord has accepted your offer.
The Set-up Fee should be paid by cheque made payable to 'Jungle Property'.
The fee covers the cost of checking references and processing your application.
Acceptance of the Set-up Fee does not imply a tenancy, which will only be created when all parties have signed the Tenancy Agreement.
The Set-up Fee is non-refundable.

A deposit of one month's rent is payable when your references have been checked and before your tenancy starts.
The deposit should be paid by cheque and made payable 'The Deposit Protection Service'.
The deposit covers against any of the following at the end of the tenancy:
Damage to the property, fixtures, fittings or contents - beyond 'fair wear and tear';
- Cleaning - for example cooker or carpets;
- Rubbish removal;
- Unpaid rent;
- Replacement keys/locks when keys are lost or not returned.

The first month's rental payment is payable at least 5 working days before the start of the tenancy. The first month's rent should be paid by cheque made payable to 'Jungle Property Management Client Account'.
The rental payments after the first month are payable by Standing Order set up for one day before rent due date in the Tenancy Agreement. A Standing Order Mandate is provided as part of the pre-tenancy process.

Sufficient time should be allowed for cheques to clear through the bank clearing system - typically 3 working days.
If sending cheques by post, allow additional time for delivery.
In the event that cheques are returned unpaid, we will levy a fee. Until this fee is paid, we will not process your application any further.
We regret that we cannot accept cash at our office.
We do not accept cheques for rental payment beyond the first month's payment.
Acceptance of the Set-up Fee does not imply a tenancy, which will only be created when all parties have signed the Tenancy Agreement.

Any proposed tenancy is offered 'subject to contract' and is conditional upon:
- The satisfactory completion of tenant referencing, including credit checks;
- The provision of a suitable guarantor;
- Receipt of cleared funds;
- The signing of the Tenancy Agreement.

The properties we advertise, let and manage are described in good faith from information received and no responsibility will be accepted for errors, omissions or misstatements.
