Agreement, Deposit & Inventory
The tenancy agreement is a legally binding document and will set out the terms of your tenancy and any special agreements. You must ensure that you understand what you’re signing. Tenancy Deposit (Bond) will be registered with a Tenancy Deposit Scheme and you will be provided with information and contact details of the scheme. Inventory and Schedule of Condition Report will normally be prepared by an independent third party.
This is for your protection as much as the landlords and will be used as a reference when your tenancy comes to end.
