OUR GUIDE TO TENANT CHARGES

When renting a property through W T Parker, we follow the guidelines from the Tenants Fees Act 2019.

Landlords and Agents are only permitted to charge the following costs to the tenant:

The rent which is to be paid in specified and regular intervals.
A refundable tenancy deposit which is a maximum of five weeks of the rental amount where the annual rental income is £50,000 or less. This will increase to six weeks of the rental amount once the annual rental income exceeds £50,000.
The holding deposit is capped at a maximum of one week’s worth of rent.
When making alterations to a tenancy agreement after the start date has commenced per their request, the tenant may incur a charge of up to £50.00 for the administration involved.
Costs may incur to the tenant when terminating the tenancy before the end of a fixed term agreement or without giving the correct amount of notice. The costs charged will not be more than the loss to the landlord.
Council tax payments, utilities (gas, electric and oil if applicable), Tv licence and communications services such as broadband, internet, landline and satellite television.
Tenants may incur a charge when there is a default caused by themselves such as a late payment of rent from 14 days after their due date or the loss of a key or security device. The fee cannot exceed interest of more than 3% above the Bank of England’s annual percentage rate for each day that the rental payment is outstanding or the costs which the landlord has incurred (e.g. the cost of the item which needs replacing)
