A typical reference will state how long they have known you and in what capacity. References cannot come from friends or family.

3. What happens to my application?

Once we have received your completed application and references we will forward same to the landlord. Demand for rental accommodation is at an all-time high and frequently there may be multiple applications for the same property. The ultimate decision in accepting an application lies with the landlord of the property.

5. What do I need to pay before moving in?

6. Do I have to sign a tenancy agreement?

Yes, in all circumstances you will sign a tenancy agreement and you will receive a copy of same along with your rent book. The tenancy agreement will be for an initial fixed period which will be clearly stated on your agreement and will thereafter run periodically. A fixed term lease of 6 or 12 months gives you the security to occupy the property for that set period of time. During this time neither you nor the landlord can end the tenancy unless there have been breaches of the terms.

On the day of check in, one of our personnel will read the relevant meters for you and provide you with the readings.

9. What about contents insurance?

12. How do I work out the monthly rent payment?

The best way to work out the monthly rental payment for a property is to multiply the weekly rent by 52 weeks and divide by 12 months. This will give a per calendar month payment due on the same date each month.
