Renewal and End of Tenancy Procedures

(amended 1st October 2015 to comply with new legislation, tenancies started before the 1st October conform to the regulations before 1st October 2015 with the notice to quit)

If you are looking to take out a further shorthold Tenancy Agreement to the property you are letting or renew the Tenancy you hold to your property.

We ask the Landlord for agreement to confirm the property is for let 4 months before your Tenancy expiry date.

We then write to the Tenant, the Tenant must advise us 2 months before the Tenancy expiry date if they are leaving or wish to stay on.  If the Tenant does not wish to stay on at the property with consent of the Landlord the property is re-advertised to let.

If the property is not available to renew the Tenancy we will notify the tenant 4 months before the expiry date of the Tenancy with a notice to quit.

 

The Tenancy Renewal Fee per Tenant is £72.00 including VAT

Once the payment is received:

  • A new Tenancy Agreement will be sent out to you for completion, your deposit retained and any updates or developments for the new tenancy we make you aware of.

If the tenancy is in a periodic, one months’ notice must be served on or before a rent due date.

 

If you do not wish to stay on at the property:

Once agreement is made with us on your leaving date at the end of your tenancy term, the property will be re-advertised and viewings completed where necessary. You will be notified of any viewing appointments made, this usually happens 6 weeks prior to the end of tenancy and is agreed by both parties in your Tenancy Agreement.

When your tenancy comes to an end the Landlord or BnR Property Services will conduct an inspection to ensure you have maintained it according to your tenancy agreement.  The tenant is quite welcome to attend the final inspection and will be notified of the appointment time and date.

Check your inventory and ensure all items are present in the property. Replace any missing items.

Once the final inspection has been carried out you will receive a completed report on our findings. if there are any damages or faults, I.e. cleaning, gardening issues these will be reported and taken from the deposit return in accordance with the Deposit Protection Schemes strict process.
