The fixed-term agreement is a defined period of the tenancy which is written into your lease. This is usually 6 or 12 months but the parties can agree to have a tenancy agreement for any length of time. When the fixed-term period ends the tenancy agreement does not end unless it is terminated by the tenant or the landlord.
Should you wish to break your tenancy agreement you must pay rent until the property is relet to a suitable tenant or until the end of the tenancy agreement, whichever is sooner. You must also pay for reasonable lessor compensation costs (normally equal to the two weeks rent or as otherwise agreed) and advertising costs expended by the office in the process of securing a new tenant'
If your landlord is unable to pay back their loan on the property you are renting, the mortgagee will usually want possession. This may mean you have to move out, even during a fixed-term agreement.
It is the tenants responsibility to insure their own belongings and furniture. We strongly recommend you take out contents insurance to protect against burglary and theft
Our office will carry out periodic inspections on the property to ascertain the condition of the property and necessary maintenance requirements. (7 days written notice will be given to you on all occasions). This inspection also provides an opportunity for you to point out any problems or maintenance that you think may be necessary.
