The tenant process:

Tenant referencing

Prospective tenants/applicants wanting one of our properties for rent will be discussed with the property Landlord in advance of the referencing process. We will never decide on a tenant on behalf of the Landlord unless they have requested for us to do so.

Should an applicant be acceptable as a tenant by the Landlord (pending satisfactory references being received), then a thorough referencing process will then commence.RHW Estates use a top quality independent referencing company that assure all parties of a thorough and time efficient service. Should the references be successful RHW Estates continue immediately with the arrangements for the tenancy start date.

The deposit

RHW Estates will be responsible for collecting and submitting the tenants deposit to the DPS (Deposit Protection Service). This deposit is refunded at the end of the tenancy as long as the property is found to be in satisfactory condition at the property ‘check out’. In the case of properties managed by the Landlord themselves, the deposit release will be requested once RHW Estates have received confirmation from the Landlord that they are happy for us to do so.

N.B. Deposits, by law, have to be submitted to a registered deposit scheme. Landlords may do this themselves as long as they are registered members with such a scheme.

Landlord payment

The first month’s rent is collected by RHW Estates. This is due on the tenancy start date (the date stated on the tenancy agreement). Keys are not handed over until cleared funds have been received.

Payment is then made to the Landlord within a maximum of 10 working days from collection, less the agreed agency fee (and any expenses owed if incurred). A statement will be sent to the Landlord showing all rent collected, any property expenses paid, and agreed agency fees deducted.

Arrangements for future Landlord payment is set up by RHW Estates. This is usually by means of the tenant creating a standing order into the account provided by the Landlord. RHW Estates send this order to the bank on behalf of the Tenant to ensure both parties that it has been done.
