Tenancy agreements, advice and guidance
Once you have selected your property at Waterside Village we will issue you with your Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement. These contracts are legally binding and set out the rights and responsibilities of both the landlord and the tenants.
Joint contracts
Most student properties are let on a joint tenancy basis. This means that all tenants sign the same agreement and are equally liable for the full rent due on the property. If any of the tenants fail to pay their share of the total rent, the landlord can hold the other tenants in the property legally liable for the portion of the rent that remains unpaid. If there is any damage to the property, or if cleaning is required at the end of the tenancy, this is also the joint responsibility of all the tenants. The only exception to this is if one or more of the tenants claim responsibility for any damage and agree to meet the repair/replacement costs themselves.
