Tenant Information

Insurance

Please be aware that any insurance held by the landlord will not cover items brought into the property by yourself. We recommend that you take out an insurance policy to protect your own belongings for the duration of the tenancy. Sometimes accidents happen. If you damage your landlord’s property – including the furniture, fittings and fixtures – they could ask you to pay for the repair. This is known as tenant’s liability, again we recommend that you take out an insurance policy to cover you for these eventualities.

Standing Order

A Standing Order Mandate will be signed by yourself prior to your sign up. This is your responsibility to set this up from the second month, as this is not a direct debit, we cannot make any amendments to the Standing Order, any changes have to be authorised by the account holder.

Periodic Inspections

As part of our service to you and your landlord, we operate a periodic inspection service. These are carried out every two – three months by our Inspections Officer and are simply a check to make sure there are no issues with the property to feedback to landlords and also gives the opportunity for tenants to raise any queries or concerns you may have. We will give plenty of notice before these are carried out and tenants are welcome to be present, however if they cannot be we reserve the right to enter the property with our spare set of keys as denoted within your tenancy agreement.

Utility Providers

We write out to the utility providers to advise you will be moving in with meter readings. You must inform Scargill Mann & Co if you wish to change utility providers.
