• withdraws from a property (unless a landlord or agent imposed a requirement that breached the ban or acted in such a way to the tenant or relevant person that it would be unreasonable to expect a tenant to enter into a tenancy agreement with them)
• fails to take all reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement and the landlord or agent takes all reasonable steps to do so (unless a landlord or agent imposes a requirement that breaches the ban or acts in such a way to the tenant or relevant person that it would be unreasonable to expect a tenant to enter into a tenancy agreement with them).

If the holding deposit is retained, then reasons will be provided in writing to the tenant within 7 days of the decision by the landlord not to enter into a tenancy agreement or the expiry of the deadline for agreement. Failure to do so will result in a refund of the holding deposit.

On behalf of the landlord, an independent referencing agency undertakes reference verification and credit checks on each applicant. We forward to the referencing agency completed referencing documentation which will require details of your employer, bank account, any former landlords, and a character reference.

A Damage Deposit, equal to 5 weeks rent is payable upon receipt of satisfactory references. The damage deposit is either paid directly to the Landlord, or to Bowson if we are managing the property and will be held within a Government Approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme until the tenancy ends.

In some cases professional applicants may require a suitable guarantor willing to accept and underwrite any rent and tenancy liabilities before the application can continue. Guarantors will need to meet the same reference and credit check requirements as the applicant.

Proof of identification will also be required. When you produce the required documents to our office, photocopies will be taken, and the originals returned to you before you leave. Do not send originals, they cannot be processed in your absence.

Suitable identification documents are: A full and current Passport or a current valid Photo Driving License.
