Energy Performance Certificate rating (EPC) – Band C - Certificate number – responsibilities of tenants and their guarantors What is joint and several liability?

If you let a property as a group of students signing under the same contract, the tenancy contract will come under "joint and several liability." This means that the tenant and their guarantor are responsible for the tenant's rent but also for the collective rent of the whole house.

If one guarantor is unable to make payments on behalf of the tenant, it is the responsibility of the other guarantors to pay their share.

For example, sometimes students decide to drop out of university or live elsewhere. In this situation landlords can look to the other tenants and their guarantors to cover the shortfall rather than assume the loss.

What are joint contracts?

A joint contract (which is common in shared student housing contracts) means that you are all liable for each other. This is known as 'joint and several liability'.

It makes you all equally liable for rent, utility bills, and any other charges incurred (e.g. Damage / late rent charges). If one of you fails to pay for something, the landlord can chase any or all of you for the outstanding amount or take it out of your deposit. This is why it is important to only live with reliable people who you trust.

Joint liability

Joint contracts usually contain all tenants' names and signatures. Rent is often expressed as a total figure for the property rather than individual amounts per person. All joint tenants are legally viewed as one person and are equally liable for any unpaid rent or damage to the property.

You might see the phrase "joint and severally liable" or "jointly and individually liable." This means any tenant can be pursued for outstanding rent and damage costs, even if they have paid their share of the total rent or did not cause the damage. E.g. Sam and Jo sign a joint contract, and the rent is £250 per month each (£500 total). If Jo misses a £250 payment, the landlord can ask Sam to pay.

Tenant information Please note Urban Property Bristol has been instructed as a let only agent by the landlord, we have been instructed to advertise the property, carry out viewings, relay offers to the landlord, prepare all tenancy paperwork and complete referencing checks on tenants and their guarantors only.

The landlord will manage the property, collect rent from month two until the end of the tenancy, deal with the tenant's deposit, deal with the legally required prescribed information, safety certificates, start of tenancy fire test, keys, check in and check out reports/inspections, deposit recovery, deal will all questions, problems, issues, and all maintenance works during the tenancy.

As part of our application process, no agency fees are due. Standard charges will include 01 week holding deposit (£253.84), rent and a 05-week security deposit (£1269.23) that will be payable before the tenancy starts.

Nb. To pass standard referencing - An annual household income of approx. +£33,000 pa (30 x rent) from permanent employment or pension income will be needed to pass reference checks.

If you are not in full time permanent employment e.g. Part time, student, self-employed, zero-hour, bank staff, agency, short term contract, fixed term contract less than the length of the tenancy period offered 12-months, just starting a new job or ceo of a company or director of a company please contact the office before booking a viewing.

Subject to references, a UK based employed UK based homeowner may be required to act as a guarantor. With annual household income of 36 x the rent (+£39.600 pa) from permanent employment or pension income will be needed to pass reference checks.

A refundable Tenancy Deposit of no more than five weeks' rent: A Tenancy Deposit is money held by the landlord (or agent acting on the landlord's behalf) as security during the period of the tenancy and reserved for any damages or defaults by the tenant.

Payments in the event of a default: Landlords and letting agents may require a tenant to make a payment in the event of a default (e.g. Requesting a replacement for a lost key). The amount charged cannot exceed the loss suffered by the landlord. The tenancy agreement must specify the circumstances in which these payments may be required.

Council Tax payments: Letting agents and landlords may require tenants to pay the Council Tax on the property they rent.

Payments for the provision of utilities: Agents and landlords are permitted to charge tenants fees associated with utilities, such as electricity, gas or other fuel, water or sewerage, if this is clear in the tenancy agreement.
