Leaf Living offer 12, 24 and 36-month tenancies. Please note that our tenancies do not include break clauses, but if you would like a break clause, please discuss this with your Lettings Consultant as we may be able to consider this on a case-by-case basis depending on the development. Please note that 24- and 36-month tenancies are subject to an annual Rent Review which is linked to the increase in Consumer Price Index (CPI). 12-month tenancies will be renewable with the new rent negotiated in line with market rents at the time of renewal.
Please note that all payments made in regard to this application/tenancy (holding deposit, tenancy deposit, final move in balance & direct debit) will need to be made by the same account holder on behalf of all applicants, where applicable. Should your application be successful, you will be required to pay a holding deposit within the agreed timescale to secure the property. The holding deposit amounts to one weeks’ rent, capped at £500. Upon signing the tenancy agreement, you will also pay your final balance which is made up of; 5 weeks’ rent as a tenancy deposit (if opting to pay a traditional deposit) and a month’s rent in advance and/or an apportionment of rent depending on your moving in date – please speak to your Lettings Consultant for further information or visit the "Quote" section of the applicant portal for a breakdown.
By submitting this form, I/we agree that upon entering into a Tenancy Agreement, the money held as the holding deposit will be paid towards the first months' rent.
As part of the lettings process, Leaf Living will require the following documents no later than the date that is five days after issuing confirmation of your reservation via email, “the Date for Completed Documentation”. By proceeding with this application, I/we confirm that I/we have the following documentation readily available and will provide them by “the Date for Completed Documentation” by updating them to the applicant portal.
If I/we cannot provide the requested documentation by the Date for Completed Documentation, I will contact Leaf Living before this date, making a written extension request to provide the documents. In the event of failure by myself (or any one of the applicants) to provide all the documentation requested above within agreed timescales, Leaf Living may retain the holding deposit on the basis that I/we have given false or misleading information above in respect of my/our ability to promptly provide satisfactory proofs and references.
If Leaf Living decides to retain the holding deposit, I/we will be given written notification of this intention within seven days of Leaf Living making such a decision.
I/we understand that we will be credit checked by a third-party company on behalf of Leaf Living as part of my/our application. This credit check can be carried out via any of the UK’s credit referencing agencies. I/We declare that we have no undeclared adverse credit history or history of mismanagement of money (bankruptcy, county court judgements, individual voluntary agreements, returned direct debits, exceeding overdraft arrangements or unplanned overdraft, etc.) I/We understand that undeclared adverse credit history or mismanagement of money being discovered during the referencing process will be deemed a failed reference based on misrepresentation.
I/We understand that the third-party referencing agency will look to obtain references from my/our employer(s)/accountant(s) which verify my/our income and/or stability of employment as well as satisfactory reference(s) from my/our landlord(s) covering my/our last 12 months of living history to confirm that I/We do not have any bad tenancy or rental history. I/we confirm that our landlord(s) and employer(s)/accountant(s) will be prepared to provide a reference.
