RIGHT TO RENT CHECKS
From the 1st of February 2016 the 'Right to Rent' government scheme came into effect. This requires all Agents to check the documents of prospective tenants when applying for a rental property. When coming to view a property with Martin & Co we ask that you bring with you the appropriate document(s) in case you wish to proceed with an application.

The simplest way to conform to the regulation is to bring a valid British/EU Passport with settled status code/or Visa, with you, along with some form of proof of address. If you do not have a passport, please ask a member of staff for more information.  

PETS
The landlord of the property may choose to accept specified pets at their discretion. Should they allow a pet to reside at the property then the rent will increase by a minimum of £25 pcm per pet which will be added to the rental figure. For example if the stated rent is £500 pcm this would increase to £525 pcm for the duration of the tenancy, with no right to review the rent downwards, only upwards.
