Starting the Tenancy
Page 23
Has each tenant signed all documents in relation to the tenancy and have signed copies of all documents? Has the tenant received your bank details and do they know how and when the rent is payable? This information should also be defined in the tenancy agreement. Have the tenants been issued with the inventory and been made aware of their obligations to sign and return it within an agreed time period OR, alternatively, have you met the tenants at the property to mutually agree and sign the document. This is to ensure a smooth conclusion at the end of the tenancy. Has the property been attended on the day of move in, prior to handing the keys over, to check all smoke alarms are in working order and to ensure that the tenants are aware of their ongoing responsibilities regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to comply with regulations?
Has the tenant signed a document to prove that they are aware of the above responsibilites?
Have the tenants been made aware that, under the terms of the tenancy agreement, you will visit the property periodically in line with the Housing Act regulations to check that the tenancy agreement is being adhered to? Please be aware that tenants require a minimum of 24 hours notice to enter the property so as to not breach their quiet enjoyment and to avoid breaching the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
During the Tenancy
Regular Checks
Ensure that all legal certificates are renewed prior to expiry, not allowing any to run out.
Ensure that if a certificate is renewed during the tenancy, new certificates are issued to the tenant.
