Application – Holding Deposit and process;
1. On application; a holding deposit of £50 per tenant is due, once all applications for the property have been received the property will be reserved for the first group, for up to 14 days. Within 14 days we require the receipt of a guarantor document and signed tenancy agreement.

Should this process take longer than 14 days we will be unable to reserve the property any longer for you.
Part applications (where one or more tenants within the group have not completed their part of the application) will not form a full application and we will not be able to hold the property for the group until all applications from all tenants within that group have been received).

Refunds:
1. Your Holding deposit is not refundable.
2. In certain circumstances your application holding deposit can be transferred towards the cost of application of another property should we not be able to offer you the applied for property or should you wish to not progress your application.
3. Your application holding deposit is paid to reserve the property. Should you decide not to continue the application your fee will not be refunded.
4. In the event we’re unable to offer you tenancy of your applied for property, we will refund your holding deposit within 10 working days.
5. Should the property be applied by 2 prospective tenants or groups of tenants at the same time the property will be reserved for the first full application based on a first come first serve basis.
An “application” is deemed to be “full” when all tenants within the party have completed their individual part of the application. The first group to complete the full application will be able to progress their application to the signing of tenancy. The unsuccessful group will of course be offered a refund of their holding deposit under item 4 in this schedule.
6. At any time the Agent and landlord reserves the right to cancel any application whether inside or outside of the 14 day reservation period.
7. The landlord and Agent reserve the right to refuse any application at any point for any reason. The agent will endeavour to contact the applicants within 30 days of application to make them aware of the refusal.

Guarantor – Terms & Conditions of guarantee

1. The Guarantor agrees that they have read the draft tenancy agreement and agrees with the
   terms and conditions of the tenancy. A copy of this agreement can be found on https://student-housing.co.uk/tenants/downloads/ Once signed by the tenant(s), a signed copy can be
   provided to the guarantor upon request.

2. The Landlord agrees to let the Property to the Tenant(s). In consideration of this, the
   Guarantor agrees to act for the Tenant(s) should he/she/they/them fail, for any reason, to
   meet the financial commitments arising from the Tenancy Agreement entered into in
   respect of the Property.
3. The Guarantor Agreement refers to the current tenancy being undertaken and any
   extension or renewal of that tenancy. All references to the Landlord herein shall be deemed
   to include the Landlord’s Agent or any person authorised to act on the Landlord’s behalf.
4. The Guarantor undertakes to pay to the Landlord from the date of this Agreement until the end of the tenancy (including extension or renewal of that tenancy, whether periodic or fixed), any sum of money that becomes due and unpaid by the tenant. This includes Rent, Damages and utility Bills but could include any other sum due to the Landlord by the Tenant and is not deemed to be an exhaustive list.
5. The Guarantor shall pay and make good to the Landlord on demand all reasonable losses
   and expenses of the Landlord incurred as a result of default by the Tenant in the
   performance or observance of the Tenant’s covenants under the Tenancy Agreement. Any
   failure of the Landlord in demanding or collecting the Rent when it falls due, and any time to
   pay which may be given to the Tenant by the Landlord shall not release the Guarantor or in
   any way affect the liability of the Guarantor under this agreement. Should the Guarantor die
   during the currency of this agreement, the Guarantor’s estate will be liable as surety and co-principal debtor.
6. If the tenancy is for a fixed term, then this guarantee applies for the whole of the term and
   is not revocable during that term.
7. If the tenancy is periodic or has become periodic by agreement or the operation of law, then
   this guarantee may be terminated by written notice by the Guarantor subject to the Tenant
   vacating at the earliest legally permissible date required for possession. If the Tenant fails
   to vacate on this earliest date then the guarantee shall continue until the Tenant vacates.
8. It is agreed that there shall be no right to cancel this agreement once the tenancy has been
   signed by the tenant and the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000
   shall not apply in this case.
