BURLEIGH CLOSE, Hazel Grove SK7 5QT

To protect both tenant and landlord rights, a tenant has to go through a series of checks, referencing and sign tenancy agreements.
There are four types of costs you need to budget for:
1. Your rental payment
2. Your chosen letting agents costs
3. The bills you have to pay on top of the rent
4. The deposit
The rules for how fees will be charged for Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST) are different to how fees will be charged for Non-Housing Act Tenancies (NHA).
You usually have an AST if:
1. you don't share any accommodation with your landlord and they live elsewhere
2. the rent is less than £100,000 a year
3. the tenant is an individual and is using the property as their main home
Non-Housing Act Tenancies (NHA)
Common Law Tenancies
A tenancy would be created as a NHA if the rent is over £100,000 a year, or where it is not the tenant's main home.
Company tenancies are also NHAs.
A company let is when a company takes on a residential tenancy agreement as the tenant, rather than an individual. The tenancy will be in the company name. The company employee will live in the property.
