Thank you for enquiring about our student properties, we are very flexible on viewing our properties - daytime, evenings and weekends are no problem. We give our tenants 24 hours notice before viewing. We live locally and manage all viewings, maintenance and properties ourselves.
If your group becomes a different number you are more than welcome to view other properties some tenants take properties next door to each other e.g. 6 persons they may take a 4 and a 2 bedroom houses. We are always available via mobile 07960 442866 or via email emma@rentinwestbridgford.co.uk

Question & Answers
Question: I have viewed a property and want to go ahead and sign up for a tenancy what should I do?
Answer: Once you let us know you want to sign up for a tenancy we need all your details below and will then send you a Tenancy Agreement and Guarantor Agreement via email. We ask for all details of each tenant to be sent on one document via email.
We also take a Holding Deposit of £55 each tenant - this holds the property for you and is deducted from your first rent instalment - See below;
A deposit to hold the property (capped at no more than one week’s rent). Please note; Your holding fee will be retained if you supply false and/or misleading information which reasonably affects our decision to let the property to you, you fail the Right to Rent check, withdraw from this proposed Tenancy Agreement or fail to take reasonable steps to enter this Tenancy Agreement within the *deadline for agreement.
Deadline for Agreement is 7 days after the holding deposit is received – Signed Tenancies, Completed Guarantors, Right to Rent documents need to be received by Rent in West Bridgford Ltd within this time frame.
Information we need:
* Full name
* Home Address (normally parents)
* Email address
* Student number, course and completion date
* Mobile Number
* UK Guarantor details as above.
* Next of kin : Name Address, Email, Mobile and Landline Numbers
Tenancy Agreement: It is really important that you read and understand the terms and conditions of the Tenancy Agreement before you sign it. We will always email a copy to you. If you need further advice a co-ordinator at Student Services on the University Campus can also help to go through this with you.
Question: Why do you require a guarantor?
Answer: We ask all or our tenants to provide a UK based Guarantor. This is someone who will guarantee to pay your share of the rent should you be unable to do so (usually a parent or close relative). This protects the tenants as well as us. Unlike some landlords we only ask for your share of the rental, not for the rental of all the tenants as our Tenancies are individual not joint.
Question: What fees and deposits are payable?
Answer: There are no fees payable. We collect a Holding deposit of £55 (see above) and we collect a deposit from each tenant, which is protected by the DPS: www.depositprotection.com
The deposit amount paid is refundable at the end of the tenancy in line with the stipulations of the Tenancy Agreement (providing the house is left in the same condition it was in when you moved in and you have not generated any additional charges and damages).
Question: Do you protect my deposit on a government scheme?
Answer: Yes, in line with the current legislation we protect all deposits with a government approved Deposit Protection Scheme. Once protected the DPS will provide a deposit certificate, this will be emailed to you within 14 days of paying the full deposit amount. This information can be found in the Tenancy Agreement.
Question: Do I have to pay council tax?
Answer: As a student you are exempt from paying council tax, if at any time during the tenancy one or more of you cease to be a student then the council tax will become payable and will be the responsibility of the tenants as per the Tenancy Agreement. A council tax exemption form must be completed by all tenants.
Question: My parents have some questions about the tenancy and how it works, is there anyone they can speak to?
Answer : If you or your parents have any questions at any time you can either email Emma or Gemma at emma@rentinwestbridgford.co.uk or telephone Emma on 07710934664. We understand that this is sometimes a worrying time for parents and students alike, therefore we are always happy to help with any questions you may have either before or during the tenancy.
Question: How do you collect rent?
Answer: Rent is paid in 4 instalments, with the first due on the 1st August and then three subsequent payments on a termly basis for the academic year: 1st October, 1st January and the 1st April. We offer a choice of paying by cheque, in which case we will ask you to supply us with 4 post-dated cheques when you sign the Tenancy Agreement, or by internet banking. Please note that the dates for rent payment are given before the student loan dates are released. We do take student loan dates into consideration and will expect payment on or before these dates.
Question: What additional payments do I have to consider?
Answer: You will need to consider your utility bills: If your Tenancy is exclusive, you will need to budget for your gas, electricity, water, internet and one TV licence per house. We do offer Inclusive Packages for some of our properties - please ask.
We can recommend Glide for your utilities they provide a service that simplifies bills for shared living.
