Explanation of our Tenant Fees

Including VAT

All charges will be fair & reasonable based on the amount of work involved however the agent
or landlord should not be responsible for costs due to the tenants’ actions:

• Lost or replacement keys & other security devices
• Rent Arrears will be 3% above the Bank of England Base Rate
• Changes to the Tenancy – A charge of £50 will be made to any changes of the tenancy
  agreement providing the landlord agrees (Additional sharer)
• After you have vacated the property the agent can charge reasonable expenses if any repairs are
  required to the property including repair costs which form a breach of contract. These charges
  will be agreed with the Deposit Protection company in the event of a disagreement.
• Removing and/or storing items left in the premises for a maximum of three months, after which
  the items will be destroyed – Reasonable costs + storage
• If the tenant fails to respond to a deposit request via DPS & the agent needs to sign extra-legal
  paperwork to recover the money – £5.00 + reasonable expenses
• Carbon & Smoke Alarm Battery replacement if required – Cost of batteries + travel expenses
• Light bulb replacement (if working at start of tenancy) – Cost of bulbs + travel expenses

There are other costs which the agent or landlord may incur (court fees, refunding over payments of
rent etc.). These will be calculated on a case by case basis but the agent will not be unreasonable
making these charges but will incur costs themselves.
