Thanks for your replies

I had a ‘full & frank discussion’ with the propective DSS tenant today reminding him that i needed AST signed, deposit + advance rent before he even thinks of reversing his hertz rent-a-van onto my drive – turns out that meelado didn’t, and never did, have the cash for the deposit – he hadn’t even booked the van ffs – what a twat

Still, you live & learn

haha shiiiiiit! I thought I was being stupid for not understanding what he was saying.

I think he’s basically saying you should get tenants that already live locally. Right? RIGHT, JOOLS?!?!

I agree with The LAndlord – all funds must be cleared before they move in. Preferably not cash – cheque or BACS is best to provide an audit trail.

Hey steve,
I wouldn’t recommend accepting cheques on move in day, because as you mentioned, they could bounce. If that happens, once tenants move into the property, you’d basically be stuffed. They’ll be able to stay there for 2 months without paying rent before you can take legal action!

Kind regards

Hi
Firstly, great site, i have learned a lot from researching here in the past 2 weeks

Regarding Point 16; do you accept cheques on move in day or only cash?
I have a prospective tenant who is meant to be moving in on Sat 4th July
He has twice missed agreed meetings to sign the agreement [i used yours rather than my solicitors] and hand over deposit and sign the standing order mandate
If i accept the cheque, they move in, cheque bounces, am i stuffed?

Thanks

Here’s move of why I feel you need both. But to make a safe and secure way it’s always convenient to hire every tenancy of that particular state or cities. Be it your local, distant, residential or corporate move if you hire an US based licensed and professional moving company definitely that will make you to end up with a more organized and planned relocation not exceeding the property and within day of time.
