Find your new home to rent with Provident Housing if you are looking for
somewhere to live.
Provident Housing has a number of properties listed for rent. We list the widest
range of properties what you want and need.
Tenant application
If you are ready to rent, please download our application form, fill it in and then
either send it back to us by email or bring to your local branch together with your
ID.
The Holding Deposit
A holding deposit is payable upon signing this application and is required before
your offer can be presented to the landlord.
Following the landlordʼs acceptance of your offer the property will be withdrawn
from the market and we will proceed to take up formal references.
Once your offer has been accepted by the landlord the holding deposit will
not be refunded if you withdraw for any reason.
If the independent referencing agency deems your references to be
unsatisfactory, your holding deposit will not be returned and you may not be
offered a tenancy by the landlord. The only exception will be where references
have been deemed unsatisfactory based on information declared on this tenancy
application.
If the landlord rejects your offer, or in the event that the Landlord withdraws from
the letting, the holding deposit will be returned by direct bank transfer within 5
working days.
Referencing
An independent referencing company will request references from your employer
and landlord, and conduct a credit search.
Each tenant (and guarantor if applicable) must submit the referencing forms
online within 48 hours of your offer being accepted. Failure to submit these forms
within 48 hours will mean the property will be placed back on the market and your
holding deposit will not be returned.
Prior to the commencement of your tenancy, each tenant (and guarantor if
applicable) must supply documentation showing proof of identity (passport or
photo driving license) and proof of address (bank statement or utility bill). You
may also be required to supply up to six monthʼs worth of bank statements.
Conditions of Offer
Any requests relating to furniture, fixtures, fittings, cleaning or general
maintenance must be detailed on page one of this application. Additional
requests at a later date will not be provided for.
All transactions are subject to contract and an offer of tenancy will not be made
until satisfactory references have been received and approved.
The minimum term of tenancy is 6 months & notice may not be given during the
fixed term unless a break-clause is offered by the landlord. If you wish to bring the
tenancy to an end sooner than expiry of the fixed term. Then agreement must be
sought from the Landlord & you may have to cover the cost of re-letting the
property and for any loss of rent.
Additional Fees
Should you require any additional tenants or guarantors to be added to the
application there will be an additional charge of £100 per tenant or £50 per
guarantor. This is to be added to the final balance due before the tenancy
commences.
At the end of the tenancyʼs fixed term you may be offered an extension. Should
you decide to stay on for a further term an administration fee of £100 is payable
by the tenants. A check-out fee is payable by the tenant at the end of the
tenancy.
