Guide for Tenants:
Finding a property
The first step is to contact us at York Property Company to
provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation
you require. We then search our database for suitable properties
for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can
contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise
to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer
properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we cannot
assist DSS claimants. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.

Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends. You will be accompanied by one of our viewing agents, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.
Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a 'reservation payment'. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However the deposit will not be returned if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer
(or college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require
a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit
check will be undertaken. We may use the services of an independent
referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.
Rents
Rents are normally quoted per calendar month, and are payable monthly
in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax,
Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are
payable by bank standing order to our company rent account.
Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one and a half month's rental
must be paid, if we are managing the property for the landlord,
and will be held by ourselves as stakeholders in a secure client
account throughout the tenancy term. This is held to cover damage,
breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy
agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit
be used by the tenant to cover rent.
Fees
We charge a tenancy fee for the first applicant and each additional applicant + VAT per person. These charges are to cover administration and referencing costs etc.
