Tenants
Our aim is to find you the perfect property to suit your requirements, your time frame and your budget.
Finding a property
The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months, which may be renewed if all parties are in agreement.

Please note that for your safety and peace of mind –
- All of our managed properties are Gas Safe certificated, and inspected for electrical safety, and furniture fire safety
- All Tenancy Deposits (bonds) are held in accordance with the Deposit Protection Regulations.
Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of EmJen, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or college), a previous or current landlord, and a credit reference report.
We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.
Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account or your landlord’s bank account.
Deposit
When you have viewed a property and you would like to proceed with credit and affordability checks a one weeks non-refundable deposit will be required.
This deposit serves as a show of good faith and commitment to the property while we process your application.
This will be removed from your first months rent if successful.
A security deposit of five weeks rental will be required.
This deposit will be treated in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Protection regulations, and you will be provided with the appropriate prescribed information and receive details regarding the scheme used.
In the event of any disputes regarding the return of the deposit, both the landlord and tenant are advised to utilize the dispute resolution process set forth by the Tenancy Deposit Protection scheme.
The deposit is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement.
Failure to adhere to the terms of the tenancy agreement may result in deductions from your deposit at the end of the tenancy.
Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent.
We also offer 0% deposit, on selected properties.
This option allows tenants to move in with minimal upfront costs, making it easier to secure a suitable housing arrangement.
