Permitted Fees In addition to rent, you may be required to make the following permitted payments:
- Before the tenancy starts (payable to Francis Louis 'the Agent')
- Holding Deposit: 1 week's rent
- Security Deposit: 5 weeks' rent
The holding deposit, equivalent to one week’s rent, will be allocated to the first month’s rent upon successful reference checks. It is non-refundable if an applicant withdraws their application after referencing has started, provides misleading information, or withholds information on the application form.
Referencing charges do not apply to assured shorthold tenancies but may apply for other tenancy types, such as company lets and contractual tenancies.
