Finding a property

Renaissance Property Management are experienced in helping tenants to find properties to rent that will meet their requirements. We maintain a database of properties available to rent as well as prospective tenants and their requirements. As properties become available, our first action is to contact the tenants on the database whose requirements match the property. Call us to enter your requirements on our database. Renaissance Property Management operate in and around central Peterborough. Typically, properties to rent become available about two months before occupancy date, so where possible it is advisable to start looking early.

References

Renaissance Property Management will take references on behalf of the landlord. Normally, this will include your employer, any former landlord and a character reference. In addition a credit check will be undertaken.Where a tenant is unable to meet the required income or credit checks, the tenant can have a Guarantor agree to underwrite any rent liabilities.

Viewing

Having identified prospective properties, Renaissance Property Management will arrange for you to view the property. This will be arranged at mutually convenient times. All viewings will be accompanied by our representatives, who will be able to provide immediate advice and answer any questions you may have.

Rents

Rents are normally quoted on a calendar month basis. In addition, the tenant is normally responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. Rents are payable by standing order (unless alternative arrangements are agreed in advance) to the Renaissance Property Management Client Account, monthly in advance, with the first month's rent due before taking occupation of the premises.

Offer/Application

Having selected a property, you will need to complete a written application form. At this time any details or requirements can be agreed, including occupancy date, duration of the letting, etc. On application, an application fee will be required.It will be refunded if the landlord declines the tenancy. It will, however, not be refunded if the tenant decides not to proceed for any reason, or if the tenancy fails to proceed due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided in the tenancy application, or due to a failed credit check.

Deposit

A deposit is required prior to occupation. This is normally equal to one month's rent, but may vary - check with us. This will be held by The Deposit Protection Service until the end of the tenancy. The deposit is held to cover any breakages, damage, or other tenant liabilities. At the end of the tenancy we will check the property in the presence of the tenant and assess together any damages and deductions due. The deposit cannot be used by the tenant to cover rent.
