Declination of Prospective Tenants
- Following vetting, should a landlord decline a prospective tenant, other than for failing referencing, the tenants deposit should be returned to the prospective tenant without question. The landlord is responsible for paying the appropriate fee not the tenant.
- If a tenant has a string of CCJs and neglects to say so upon being asked, the tenant may legally lose the holding fee.
