Property FAQs
What do you mean by ‘Fair Usage Policy’?
The Fair-Bills-Inclusive Policy applies to tenants whose rent includes utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and broadband. This policy is designed to ensure that utility usage remains reasonable and proportional. It provides tenants with peace of mind while protecting them from the risk of overspending on these services.
Under the policy, a fair-usage allowance is set, which is the maximum amount tenants can use for these services without incurring additional charges. While the allowance is generous, it applies collectively to all tenants, meaning everyone is responsible for ensuring no one exceeds the limit. If the total usage exceeds the allowance, additional fees will apply. The allowance is typically calculated for a 12-month period, but if your tenancy is shorter, it will be adjusted accordingly.

I have a maintenance issue, what do I do?

Do I need a guarantor?
Each tenant will need a UK based guarantor that is either a UK homeowner or earns 5x the sum of an individual’s rent.
I am a student, do I pay council tax?
If you are a full time student throughout your whole tenancy, you are exempt from paying council tax.
What happens if I want to be released from my tenancy agreement?
If you want to be released from your tenancy agreement, please contact your local branch to confirm this. To be replaced on the tenancy agreement, there will be a £50 fee.
Tenants in most cases will remain liable until a replacement tenant is found. We will assist you in finding someone to replace you on the tenancy by conducting viewings, advertising the property and organising the paperwork.
It remains the responsibility of the tenant to find a replacement, however we will be here to assist.
Can someone live with me in a 1-bedroom property or studio?
In most cases, yes! Please speak with a member of staff to find out if the property you’re interested in allows dual-occupancy.
