Landlords: So, You Found Your Own Tenant …. What Now!?

Posted on: 27 April 2022

THE STATS

Address – Wilberforce Way, Gravesend

Landlord – Landlord with 1 property

Tenant – Found by the landlord through a friend of a friend whilst refurbishing their rental property.

 

WHAT WE DID

We were contacted by the landlord who had found their own tenant.  They were not confident with the compliance surrounding the private rented sector and rightly so were worried about getting something wrong which may have an impact on them later down the line.

They weren’t 100% sure on what paperwork was required, what checks they could do on their tenants and the laws governing the private rented sector. We arranged an appointment with them to run through the obligations. We conducted thorough tenant referencing, arranged all required safety certificates, prepared an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, registered the tenants deposit with the DPS and carried out a formal ‘check in’, ensuring all legal notices and documents were served, signed and witnessed prior to the move in.  

 

THE RESULT

An extremely happy Landlord that can now sleep at night knowing she’s done everything correctly and an extremely happy tenant living in their new home!

 

***We can tailor our services and prices to suit any needs***

 

If you have found your own tenant but need a compliance check, please contact me. I’m here and always ready to help.
