How do we secure a property?
In order to secure a property we will need to take a holding deposit equal to one weeks rent per person. Please note: this is non-refundable if you change your mind.
What is the procedure in renting a property through Park Lets?
When renting a property through Park Lets we will initially take the holding deposit, this will secure the property and get it removed from the market. Following this we then will arrange for the paperwork to be issued to the group via the electronic signature solution DocuSign. At this point we will take deposit bond for the house.
What is a guarantor?
A guarantor is a third party to the tenancy agreement who guarantees that all rent will be paid in the event that a tenant fails to. Park Lets require all guarantors to be a UK citizen, over the age of 18 and in full time employment.
What is your policy for international students who cannot get a UK guarantor?
If you are an international student who cannot get a UK guarantor we ask for a term’s rent to be paid at the start of your tenancy agreement.
What is a deposit bond?
A deposit bond is the money that each tenant is required to pay before the tenancy starts. This bond acts as security for the landlord against any damages to the property or loss of rent. This money is registered with mydeposit and is returned to the tenant at the end of the tenancy, providing no money is owed to for the rent, damages and other costs which will be deducted.
Where is my deposit held?
Deposits are held with a government based organisation called mydeposits.
