What charges can the landlord make?
Premium: A non-returnable sum of money that the landlord can charge simply for giving you the Tenancy. Deposit: The Landlord can charge a returnable deposit of up to two months’ rent. You have a responsibility to leave the property in the same condition in which it was let to you, allowing for fair wear and tear. When you move in, make a detailed list of all the property’s contents and record its condition. Taking photographs will act as a record and will help with this. Check the circumstances in which your landlord could refuse to return your deposit when you move out. Since the 6th April 2007, Landlords have had to protect deposits received from Tenants using a Government-authorised deposit scheme. Within 14 days of receiving your deposit your landlord must give you information about how your deposit is protected. Your landlord must give you: • Contact details of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme which they have protected your deposit in; Contact details for the Landlord or Lettings/Managi
