For Landlords who wish to protect their rental income we can purchase a Rent Guarantee product via Let Alliance and note you as having an “interest in” this policy. Having an interest in this policy means that you may be able to benefit should a successful claim be made.

Brief details of the product are below:

• Eviction of Tenants for non-payment of rent
• Eviction of unauthorised occupants
• Eviction of tenants following an expired section 21 notice
• Eviction of a tenant following a claim for possession in accordance with section 2 of The Housing Act 1996
• Legal Expenses limit of up to £100,000
• Up to a maximum of 15 month’s rent payments from the date of the first arrears
• Can also pay up to 3 months at 75% of the rent payable once vacant possession has been obtained and the property is being re-advertised

Should the need for a rent guarantee claim arise then this charge will become applicable.

So long as one of the original tenants introduced by the agent to the landlord is still in the property, fees will be payable 

If both the landlord and tenant agree that the tenant can stay for another term, these costs covers the contract negotiation, amending and updating the terms and arranging for the signing of a further tenancy agreement. 

We recommend that all our landlords have a professional inventory which is checked before the tenants are checked into the property. 

Please note: if you do not have an unbiased, comprehensive document prepared by a qualified inventory clerk, checked and agreed by the tenant at the outset of the tenancy, and the tenant does not agree with the deductions you require at the end of the tenancy, you may be unable to prove your case to the deposit schemes independent adjudicators, and may therefore be unable to withhold money from the tenant’s deposit.
