Coming to the end of a tenancy

12.0

Approximately two months prior to a tenancy coming to the end of the initial fixed term we will contact you to discuss how you would like to proceed. The options are:

➊ To renew for another fixed term; this would normally be 6 or 12 months. A new agreement will be drawn up to and there is a £60 fee for the administration of this.

➋ To continue the tenancy on a periodic basis; the tenancy will continue a monthly rolling basis until either the landlord of the tenant gives notice. There is no fee for this.

➌ To end the tenancy two months’ notice will be given to the tenant .

Depending on your thoughts and plans for the property we will then approach the tenant accordingly and agree a situation all parties are happy with.

If you or your tenant decide to end the tenancy we will first check whether you want us to start remarketing. Where let only, we would need a copy of the notice from your tenant.

An inventory clerk will be booked and will attend once the tenant has vacated and returned keys. They will complete the checkout using the original inventory as a bench mark and detail any wear and tear, dilapidations and damages, and who is liable for them. Once the report is complete we liaise with you to confirm release of the damage deposit. The deposit is then returned by TDS subject to any deductions agreed by both parties.

For fully managed properties we will be part of negotiations and handle any disputes. For let only arrangements this would be discussed between the landlord and tenant directly and we would only need to be advised about any deductions and the final decision in order to action the TDS repayment.
