Terms & Conditions
I understand that I have to provide the original documents proving the right to reside in the United Kingdom for all potential occupiers in the presence of the Landlord/ Agent. I understand that if I do not provide these documents for all occupiers then I will not be granted a Tenancy.
I consent to a Credit Check being carried out in relation to myself by Call Credit which will be conducted on the Landlord’s behalf by RLA Publishing Limited (RLAP).
Important – please notify us of any factors that may negatively impact your Credit Score. Where the Credit Check is carried out by RLAP, the footprint will show that the Credit Check was ordered by RLAP – not the Landlord.
*PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL INFORMATION STATED IS ACCURATE AND HONEST*
I confirm that I am over 18 years of age and the information given above is true and accurate. I confirm that no one will be living at the property except anyone who is named above.
I understand that Blackwell Properties, as a data controller, has a legitimate interest in processing the data contained in this document to decide on my suitability as a Tenant. I understand that Blackwell Properties may have to share the data with third parties to establish my suitability as a Tenant.
I confirm that I have been provided with access to the Landlord/ Agents Privacy Notice which outlines who this information may be shared with, how long the information will be held, my rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, as well as the lawful bases for sharing this data with third parties.
I confirm that where I have shared information to third parties in this application, I have the consent of the third parties to do so.
I understand that I must pay a Holding Deposit to Blackwell Properties in order to successfully submit this application. I understand that this amount will be deducted from my final outstanding bill. I understand that the outstanding balance must be paid within 15 days of this application being submitted or prior to moving into the property; whichever occurs first. I understand that if my application is unsuccessful or rejected, the Holding Deposit will be refunded to me.
I understand that Blackwell Properties hold the right to retain my Holding Deposit in ANY other circumstance, including:
- withdrawal of my application once the property has been taken off the market for me
- providing any incorrect or inaccurate information which prompts further checks
- failing right to rent checks when it is not reasonable for Blackwell Properties to know I would fail
- where Blackwell Properties have tried their best to obtain information needed to proceed with the
application but I have failed to provide it within 15 days
- providing misinformation regarding my current situation, credit status, employment status or any
other aspect of this application.
Special Conditions (Landlord Promises)
1.0 The Agent/Proposed Landlord acknowledges receipt of the Initial Holding Deposit so as to reserve the
Property.
2.0 The Proposed Landlord shall not let the Property to any other person other than the Proposed Tenant/s* or
(where stated above) the Proposed Tenant plus any further persons nominated by them as additional tenants up to
the number stated. This condition will last until this reservation is cancelled by either party, or until the last date for
the signing of the tenancy agreement (whichever is the earlier).
3.0 The Proposed Landlord will not take additional Initial Holding Deposits from any parties aside from the
Proposed Tenant/s* or (where stated above) the Proposed Tenant/s* plus any further persons nominated by them
as additional tenants up to the number stated. This restriction will last until the Initial Holding Deposit has been
partially or fully refunded to the Proposed Tenant/s*, or allocated to the Proposed Landlord where these Special
Conditions, or Schedule 2 of the Tenant Fees Act 2019 allows for this.
4.0 If a Tenancy Agreement is entered into in respect of the Property at the proposed rent between the parties
the Initial Holding Deposit shall be credited in its entirety against the rent payable under the Tenancy Agreement by
the Proposed Landlord.
5.0 If the Tenancy Agreement in respect of the Property is not signed by the end of the last date for signing the
Tenancy Agreement, or if the reservation has been cancelled by either party, the Initial Holding Deposit shall only be
repaid as provided below and not otherwise.
Where the Proposed Landlord/Agent is entitled to retain the Initial Holding Deposit, the reason for this and the
amount retained shall be communicated to you in writing within 7 days of the deadline for agreement or the date on
which the Proposed Landlord decides not to enter into a Tenancy Agreement. This will be in accordance with these
Special Conditions or Schedule 2 of the Tenant Fees Act 2019.
6.0 This agreement is not intended to create a tenancy in respect of the Property. It does not oblige any party to
enter into a Tenancy Agreement. Either party may cancel the reservation. The precontract deposit is therefore not a
tenancy deposit which is subject to protection under the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme in accordance with the
provisions of the Housing Act 2004.
7.0 The Initial Holding Deposit is refundable in full in any of the following circumstances: ‐
7.1 If the Proposed Landlord does not accept the reservation or does not agree to abide by these Special
Conditions (where this agreement is entered into by the Agent); or
7.2 The Proposed Landlord withdraws the Property and cancels the reservation; or
7.3 Where all parties have taken all reasonable steps to enter into a Tenancy Agreement but did not sign
the Tenancy Agreement by the deadline for agreement; or
7.4 Where the Proposed Tenant/s* provided accurate information to the Proposed Landlord or Agent
and the Proposed Landlord declines to enter into a Tenancy Agreement prior to the deadline; or
7.5 In all of the above, the Initial Holding Deposit will be refunded in full to the Proposed Tenant within
7 days of the deadline for agreement, or within 7 days of the Proposed Landlord’s decision if it is before the
deadline for agreement.
8.0 The Proposed Landlord does not have to refund any of the Initial Holding Deposit in the following
circumstances: ‐
8.1 Where the Proposed Tenant/s* provide false or misleading information that the Proposed Landlord
may reasonably believe impacts on their decision whether to offer a Tenancy Agreement to the Proposed
Tenant; or
8.2 Where the Proposed Tenant/s* cancel their reservation prior to the deadline for agreement and the
Proposed Landlord and/or Agent have acted in a reasonable manner towards the Proposed Tenant/s*;
8.3 Where, prior to paying the Initial Holding Deposit, the Proposed Tenant/s* have confirmed to the
Proposed Landlord or their Agent that they have sufficient proof to establish permanent or time limited right
to rent in England, and subsequent checks reveal this is not the case; or
8.4 Where the Proposed Landlord and/or Agent have taken all reasonable steps to enter into a Tenancy
Agreement by the deadline for agreement and the Proposed Tenant does not take all reasonable steps to
enter into a Tenancy Agreement.
8.4.1 Examples of the parties taking reasonable steps include, but are not limited to, providing
sufficient information to collect references, contacting all referees in a timely fashion to allow for
responses, performing credit checks, attending an appointment to verify the Proposed Tenant’s right
to rent status, providing the security deposit and rent no later than the deadline for agreement.
9.0 Where more than one person is named as Proposed Tenant either or any of them may cancel this
reservation which will then be treated as a cancellation of the reservation on behalf of all of them.
10.0 Any cancellation of the reservation by either party must be in writing to be effective.
