Reservation Checklist

  1. Terms of Tenancy
    • From 1 May 2026, all residential tenancies—both new and existing—will automatically become periodic. This means all tenancies will operate on a month by month basis rather than for a fixed term. In line with the new rules, two months’ notice can be served.
    • Rent can only be increased once a year at market rates. Leaf Living as landlord will provide at least two months' written notice using a formal Section 13 notice, and you have the right to challenge the increase at a tribunal if you believe it exceeds market value.
  2. Costs
    • All payments must be made from the same account holder. The holding deposit is equivalent to 1 weeks’ rent. Upon signing the Tenancy Agreement, additional payments will be required Flatfair deposit fee or 5 weeks’ rent as a tenancy deposit and first month’s rent or prorated depending on the move-in date.
  3. Required Documentation
    • Documentation must be submitted at least 3 days before the tenancy is due to commence. These may include:
      • Proof of identity and immigration status (passport, visa, etc.).
      • Proof of employment (last 3 months’ payslips and bank statements if employed or SA302 and 6 months of bank statements if self-employed).
      • Proof of address (recent utility or council tax bill).
      • Proof of funds (most recent savings or current account statement).
    • Failure to provide requested documentation by the deadline may result in the holding deposit being retained.
  4. References
    • A credit check will be conducted by a third-party agency, and references will be requested from employers/accountants and landlords for the past 12 months.
    • A sanctions check will be carried out on all adult members of the household against the UK Government sanctions list, and if any confirmed matches are found, Leaf Living will be unable to progress with the application.
    • A failed reference due to undeclared adverse credit history or financial mismanagement will result in a failed application.
