Holding Deposit (Nil)
No holding deposit is collected by Chris Hamriding. Unlike most letting agents we do not charge tenancy applicants a holding deposit to take the property off the market during referencing. We operate a "first past the post" policy and continue to market the property until an applicant passes all referencing checks, is considered a suitable tenant by the landlord and signs a tenancy agreement.

One Months rent. This covers damages or defaults on the part of the tenant during the tenancy.

Tenants are liable for the actual cost of replacing any lost key(s) or other security device(s). If the loss results in locks needing to be changed, the actual costs of a locksmith, new lock and replacement keys for the tenant, landlord any other persons requiring keys will be charged to the tenant. If extra costs are incurred there will be a charge of £15 per hour (inc. VAT) for the time taken replacing lost key(s) or other security device(s).
