Tenant Costs & What to Expect

Renting Costs

• One month’s rent in advance

• Deposit – usually equivalent to one month’s rent unless otherwise stated

Accepting a Property – What Happens Next

Once you’ve chosen a property, your prospective landlord will want to ensure you are a suitable tenant and can meet the rental commitments.

Holding Deposit

A Holding Deposit (equivalent to one week’s rent) is required to reserve the property. After this, we will begin full referencing, which includes:

• Credit history checks

• Employment and income verification

• Previous landlord references

• Right to Rent checks (passport or driving licence required)

Referencing can take up to seven days depending on how quickly information is returned.

We use HomeLet, a trusted referencing agency, to complete all checks. If your application shows insufficient income or higher risk, you may be asked to provide a guarantor.

Guarantors

A guarantor must:

• Be a homeowner

• Earn at least three times the monthly rent

• Pass full referencing checks

Important Information for All Applicants

• All occupants aged 18 or over must complete referencing, regardless of employment status.

• You must provide:

  • Photo ID (passport or driving licence)

  • Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement)

• A move‑in date will only be confirmed once references are approved.

Viewings

We offer flexible viewing appointments to suit your schedule. You’ll be accompanied by an experienced adviser who can answer any questions about the property, tenancy, or local area.

Referencing Process

Once you decide to proceed:

1. You’ll receive an online application link.

2. Referencing fees (where applicable) are paid at this stage.

3. Your application is reviewed with the landlord.

4. If the landlord declines your application, fees are refunded.

5. If you withdraw or provide inaccurate information, fees may be forfeited.

Rent Payments

• Rent is quoted per calendar month (PCM)

• Payable monthly in advance

• Tenants are responsible for:

  • Council Tax

  • Water rates

  • Gas & electricity

  • Broadband/telephone

• All rent must be paid by standing order

• Late payment charges may apply

Deposit Protection

Your deposit will be protected in accordance with Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS) regulations and lodged with our approved scheme provider for your security.

Insurance

Tenants must arrange contents insurance for the duration of the tenancy. We can provide access to competitive quotes through Rentshield, our specialist insurance partner.

Pets

Some landlords will consider pets, but this is always at the owner’s discretion. Properties that accept pets are in high demand, so be prepared to act quickly.

Pet Insurance

If pets are permitted, we strongly recommend pet insurance that includes public liability cover in case your pet causes damage to the property or neighbouring homes.

If you wish to obtain a pet after moving in, you must receive written consent from the landlord first.

Smoking

All Chapple Property Management properties are non‑smoking, unless the landlord has agreed otherwise.
