Holding Deposit
If your application is successful at that point you would be asked to pay a non-refundable holding deposit (maximum of 1 weeks rent (per tenancy), which will be deducted from the remaining funds due by tenancy commencement date.
This is a non-refundable payment. Should the applicant pull out of the application process/no longer wish to take the property within 15 calendar days of paying the holding deposit, or if the applicant (including any guarantor) has given false or misleading information on the application then this payment will be non-refundable. Should the landlord be unable to proceed with the application then the payment will be refunded to the applicant(s) in full.

We require one month’s rent in advance by the tenancy commencement date, and require all tenancies to be paid one month in advance at all times.

Late Payment of Rent
Interest charged at 3% above Bank of England base rate when rent is more than 14 days late from the rent due date payable till the rent arrears are paid.

Keys
Tenants are responsible for their key(s). Should tenants lock themselves out of the property, or lose their key(s) tenants are responsible for gaining access to their property and replacing their key(s) entirely at their own expense. Should tenants require Harcourt White to assist them in replacing key(s) or meeting them to unlock their property for them to gain access Harcourt White charges £35 per hour plus whatever the key cutting company charges for cutting keys.
Please note: Harcourt White are only able to assist during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Should you require access or keys outside of working hours, all tenants are expected to phone a locksmith to gain access to their property at their own expense.
NOTE: it is NOT acceptable to use force or break into the property. Any damaged caused to the doors, windows or dwelling due to forced entry will be charged to the tenant.
NOTE: as we work from home we do not offer a service where you can come to our home to collect keys.

Early Release from Fixed Term Tenancy
If permission is granted allowing the tenant to vacate the property before the expiration of the tenancy agreement tenants will be liable for:

• Rent up to the date on which the property is re-let or the expiration of the tenancy agreement, whichever comes first.
• Council tax, gas, electricity, water, sewerage, telephone, broadband, tv licence along with any other costs that are the tenants responsibility under the tenancy agreement up to the date the property is re-let or the expiration of the tenancy agreement, whichever comes first.
• We charge £149 to tenants for this service. This money is to be paid into our client account when we start advertising your property for rent, however, we only accept the fee once the new tenant has signed the agreement (funds would be refunded to you if no new tenant was secured).
