The only payments we can charge tenants in connection with a tenancy are:
- the rent
- a refundable tenancy deposit capped at no more than five weeks’ rent where
the annual rent is less than £50,000, or six weeks’ rent where the total annual
rent is £50,000 or above
- a refundable holding deposit (to reserve a property) capped at no more than
one week’s rent
- payments to change the tenancy when requested by the tenant, capped at
£50, or reasonable costs incurred if higher
- payments associated with early termination of the tenancy, when requested
by the tenant
- payments in respect of utilities, communication services, TV licence and
council tax; and
- a default fee for late payment of rent and replacement of a lost key/security
device, where required under a tenancy agreement
