Supplementary documents

Rental process guide

There's a number of steps to take between viewing a house and moving in - this document will take you through all the steps in order.

Sample tenancy agreement (AST)

This is a sample tenancy agreement, similar to the one you'll be asked to sign when agreeing to rent a room in one of our houses. It's signed by the tenant and the landlord (us).

Sample guarantor's agreement

Each tenant will need to choose a guarantor who will undertake to pay the rent for your room if for any reason the tenant fails to pay.

We use an online service to credit check your guarantor, so they'll need access to a computer and an internet connection. To make it more likely your guarantor passes the credit check, try to choose a UK home owner with no adverse credit history or County Court Judgements (CCJs).

Your proposed guarantor will receive a Guarantor's Agreement to sign, along with a copy of the tenancy agreement, so they know what they are agreeing to guarantee.

Bills inclusive tenancies - further details

We offer bills-inclusive tenancies, where a set proportion of your rent is set aside to pay the bills, typically around £14/week (check in your tenancy agreement to be sure). We would normally expect this figure to cover the bills in your house – it’s calculated based on average energy, water and data prices and usage.

However, if we have a particularly cold winter the cost of the bills may exceed the contributions you make, and we could ask you to cover the extra. This document explains how we deal with this.

Bank details

During the process of siging up for a house, you'll need to send us retainers, deposits and (eventually) rent payments. Here's the bank details you'll need.
