1: The houses are all non
smoking inside. I am strict about this, please, if you want to smoke
inside please find some other accommodation.
2: The contracts (a standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy
Agreement) are all 10 months from 1st September to
the 30th June. It is possible to have one longer than
this if desired.
3: I do not
rent the houses out over the summer unless you take the
whole house - there is a small reduction for the summer
months.
4: The contracts are all on a group basis - i.e.
one contract for the house that you all sign.
5: Bills are not included in the rent. The bills
are Gas/Electric and Water. The council tax you will be
exempt from as you are students. You will need one TV license
for the house and will have a phone bill if you have a
land line (some students just use mobiles now). I am happy
for you to set up broadband/sky/cable etc if you want.
6: The rent is to be paid monthly by standing order
only, I will give you my bank details so you can set
standing order up.
7: The rent is the same amount per person regardless of
the size of room. For who gets which room you will have
to arrange something amongst yourselves - eg draw lots
/take turns or pay person with small room..
8: The deposit is £250 per person which you get back
when you leave as long as the house is clean and
in the same condition as when you moved in. The deposit
will be protected under a Deposit Protection Scheme.
9: For Identification I will need: 1: Some student university identification
- eg student card etc and 2: Something with your home
address on eg driving license, 3: For overseas students
I will need a copy of your passport.
10: No pets are allowed in the houses.
11: If you need anything for the house let me know
and I will be able to get it for you (within reason!) as
I like to keep them all a good standard.
12: When you leave the house must be spotless clean!
(as it will be when you move in) - if not, then I
have to get cleaners to clean the house and have no
choice to take the cost out of the deposit.
13: I supply mattress
protectors for the beds, these must be used at all
times and should be washed and left clean when you move
out.
14: There will be a
basic set of pots/pans/plates/cutlery etc but you
may want to bring some of your own
15: All the houses are registered
with Portsmouth University Accommodation Office
as Premium level and I have been advertising my houses
through them for over 15 years now.
16: I do not
charge admin fees for signing contracts or anything else
(only the rent).
17: Once you have
signed the contract, although not common, if someone
decides they want to move out for any reason, I am happy
with that as long as you find a suitable replacement
person, I can give you advice on how and where to
advertise, I do not charge any fees etc if this
happens.
