PDF form information (legacy)

The application for accommodation is possibly the most essential document other than a tenancy agreement. It provides for the gathering of information from the prospective tenant after they have expressed an interest in your property. The information gathered from the form also has significant benefit because there are a number of questions which can avoid legal problems in the future (e.g. is the property to be the tenants only or principle home?)

The form will also seek all the information required to complete the tenancy agreement and deposit prescribed information in full (e.g. post tenancy address, phone number, email and fax number).

The document includes data protection confirmations which allows the landlord to use the data for various purposes. It also allows the data to be used after the tenancy has ended. However, this form is only really suitable for our tenant referencing service due to the nature of the disclaimer at the back.

The form also includes guidance about what ID is acceptable for the Immigration Act 2014.

There are 8 pages in total.
