Tenant Services
Tenancy information |
We are a member of Safeagent (which includes their client money protection scheme) and The Property Ombudsman. Below is a list of fees and costs associated with renting a property through DLD Estates. |
Holding Deposit |
One weeks rent. This will be withheld if any prospective tenant and/or guarantor withdraws from the application process, fails a right to rent check, provides false or misleading information or fails to sign the tenancy agreement by the date mutually agreed upon successful referencing. |
Security deposit |
Five weeks rent, to be held in The Deposit Protection Scheme. |
Unpaid Rent |
2% above The Bank of England Base Rate. This charge will not be applied until the rent is more than 28 days in arrears. |
Lost Key or Key Fob |
Tenants are liable for the cost of replacing any lost keys or key fob. If the loss results in the lock needing to be changed, the tenant is liable for all associated costs, including keys for themselves, landlord and agent. |
Variation of Contract at Tenants request |
£50 including VAT per variation to cover contract preparation costs. |
Change of Sharer at Tenants request |
£50 including VAT per replacement tenant to cover contract preparation costs. |
Early termination at the Tenants request |
All costs associated with re-letting the property, including landlords referencing costs for new tenants and inventory, all rent and bills up to the date the new tenant moves in. These costs will not exceed the total amount owed for the remainder of the tenancy. |
