complimentary terms & conditions
The following are complimentary to the terms and conditions
as laid out in the Shorthold Tenancy Agreement and are not
exhaustive. They do not take precedence over the Agreement
itself and are meant only as a guide.
Our responsibilities
If you decide to change the property in any way (e.g erect
shelves, paint the property or lay carpet) you must consult
Parkways. Similarly, if you decide you want to put a picture
on the wall and need to insert a nail you will need to consult
Parkways. Any unauthorised changes may be rectified at the
tenant's expense.
Please note that your deposit and one months rent in advance
will be placed in our "Clients Call Account" and
will not be accumulating interest.
If you decide to vacate the property one months notice is
required on the 5th month of the expiry date of the 6th month
assured shorthold tenancy agreement. In the event of the tenant
wishing to terminate the agreement before the expiry date
of the tenancy - deposits and/or months in advance rent will
be retained.
On satisfactory completion of the tenancy the deposit will
be returned one month after vacation of property, or as soon
as proof is provided that all outstanding bills have been
paid to date of vacation of property and providing that no
rectifications to the property have to be made.
After inspection has been carried out by Parkways - a second
inspection will be carried out by the Landlord or Landlady
who will agree the release of the rental deposit.
If any part of the rent is in arrears for more than 21 days
whether formally demanded or not or there is any breach of
the tenant's obligations under the lease the landlord may
re-enter the premises and thereupon the tenancy created by
this lease will determine, but without prejudice to any other
rights and remedies of the landlord.

-
All keys (doors, garage, windows etc) must be returned

Should the accommodation become totally uninhabitable
due to defect, the landlord is responsible for repair
and for finding equivalent alternative accommodation for
the tenant for up to but not more than one calendar month
from the tenancy date. The tenant will be responsible
for removal expenses.
-
At the discretion of Parkways the tenant may be asked
to provide a surety for the rent.
Rent review
The landlord and Parkways reserve the right to review the
rental when a new agreement is to be raised. Parkways will
always ensure that the rent to be paid is a fair sum for both
the landlord and tenant.
Repossession by mortgagee
Should the property be repossessed by the mortgagee(building
society or bank etc) due to the landlord's misdemeanours,
Parkways will try to negotiate a reasonable length of time
for the tenancy to continue and help find suitable alternative
accommodation. (NB this is usually acceptable to mortgagees).
Parkways accept no responsibility to the tenant should this
occur.
