Legal stuff - an explanation!

 

Heads of Terms … the basics:

·       fixed term (duration) of 12 months (or thereabouts) to accord with the UKC academic year

·       tenants welcome to reside at the houses throughout the term of the tenancy to include each holiday - save where otherwise agreed and variation appended to agreement i.e. usually to accommodate works of maintenance and repair  

·       rent payable by standing order in 12 equal instalments. In my experience this has proved far easier in terms of administration than organising a sequence of cheques and/or standing orders that vary throughout the year.

·       deposit - payable on signing tenancy agreement and held under the terms of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme

·       tenants to be joint signatories to tenancy agreement i.e. each group member to sign the one agreement and thus be jointly and individually responsible to abide by all terms within it. Please see FAQ page and seek advice from Students Union if necessary.. 

·       tenants to:

·       keep the interior of property, furniture and fittings in good condition and complete (reasonable wear and tear accepted)

·       pay rates (exemptions apply for Council Tax subject to presentation of Student Certificates to Canterbury City Council) and service bills i.e. gas, electricity and telephone

·       permit landlord/agents/workmen entry at reasonable times

·       not assign or sub-let - for our mutual peace of mind!!!

·       insure own possessions

·       landlord to:

o      keep main structure of premises, water/gas supply, electrical wiring and sanitation in good condition

o      furnish

o      insure premises, furniture and fittings.

o       

o      ***Please note: a parent or guardian (of each tenant and UK resident) will be expected to sign and forward to me a Guarantor's Agreement within 7 days of tenants signing their Tenancy Agreement***

Do be sure to read through the terms outlined carefully and feel free to contact me should you have any queries

........  and remember ....... seek advice from your Students Union to ensure that any tenancy agreement you may be offered (including mine!) is considered fair and reasonable.
