LET ONLY

This service ends when the negotiations are completed for the Tenant we have introduced to take occupation of the property. Our fees are due and payable upon the commencement of the Tenancy. All obligations for the Management of the Tenancy including the tenant taking up occupation of the property will be the responsibility of the Landlord. The obligation to arrange the inventory check out (should one be required) will also be the responsibility of the Landlord. Living LONDON can arrange this for the Landlord subject to the appropriate fee being paid.

Where we have been instructed on a Tenant- Find Only basis the Landlord is responsible for ensuring that the Tenant is notified of the deposit protection within 30 days of the start of the tenancy, and within 30 days of each and every renewal or extension of the fixed term tenancy. This includes the provision to the Tenant of the Deposit Protection certificate where applicable plus the Prescribed Information and information booklet for the relevant deposit protection scheme. The Landlord is responsible for ensuring that the deposit is protected for the duration of the tenancy including re-protection on all renewals and extensions of the original term and that the Tenant receives notification of this.
