What do I have to do for my first payment of rent and deposit?

The tenant is required to make a payment of their first month’s rent AND their deposit by exactly one calendar month before the tenancy begins. (For example, if the tenancy begins on 1^st July, then the rent and deposit will need to be received by us on 1^st June). We ask that you set up a standing order with your bank (either via online banking or at the branch in person) for this payment. Please ensure that the payment is sent a minimum of 3 days in advance of the due date to cater for weekends/bank holidays and some slow banking processes.

We will require you to send us evidence that you have set this up.

If you have set this up online, please take a screenshot of the confirmed standing order and attach the photo of the evidence required to your application.

If you have set this up in branch, please ask for a receipt, advice slip or confirmation email that your standing order has been set up. Again, please then take a photo or screenshot of the confirmed standing order and attach the photo of the evidence required to your application.
