Information for Tenants

John Taylors have a range of town and country properties available to rent. Most properties are unfurnished and let on Assured Shorthold tenancies. Generally most landlords are looking for a minimum tenancy of six months. We aim to give you clear, impartial and expert advice when renting a property from us.

Application
When you find a suitable property you will need to complete an application form. John Taylors use an outside agency to collect character, employer and credit references and so a non-refundable administrative fee which is currently £25 inclusive of VAT is payable on application.

Rents & Deposits
Once a tenancy has been agreed the following must be paid:

• One months rent.
• Deposit: usually a similar amount to one month's rent.
• £80 fee inclusive of VAT for the tenancy agreement.

Tenancy Deposit Protection
As from the 6th April 2007, a government authorised tenancy deposit scheme was introduced which we now use to protect your deposit to ensure that any dispute over its return will be resolved quickly and independently without any cost to you. You will be given full terms and conditions for the scheme when you pay your deposit but further information is available on the Tenancy Deposit Scheme website.
