Before moving in, the landlord should provide a house inventory, which is called Inventory in English, which includes all the items and equipment inside and outside the student accommodation Edinburgh. If it is not provided, the tenant must check whether the equipment in the house is complete and whether it is working properly. It is recommended to take photos before check-in, and there must be a date to prove that the photos were taken before check-in, so as to be used as evidence when disputes arise in the future. When you move out, be sure to clean and tidy. If it is not cleaned properly, the landlord will most likely refuse to refund some or all of the deposit. It is recommended to go to a professional cleaning company for a Move-outclean, including carpet cleaning. This fee is usually lower than being fined by the landlord, and the cleaning is relatively clean and up to standard student accommodation in Edinburgh.
Tenancy Agreement (rental contract)
When signing a contract with the landlord, be sure to read every clause clearly, because once the signed contract is concluded, it will be legally effective, even if there are some unreasonable clauses in the contract. For example, some housing agencies have complicated and lengthy contract clauses, and some fees are hidden in some inconspicuous places, which leads to unnecessary losses. In addition, when signing a contract, pay attention to see if there is a break clause (break clause), so that the contract can be terminated in the future. It is recommended that you carefully read and negotiate unreasonable terms with the landlord before signing the contract. And keep the contract and all written communication records with the landlord after signing the contract.”
