Tenant Process

Finding your perfect property

Mint Homes are an online letting agent, therefore, all our current properties are displayed on our website and onthemarket. To register your requirements with us please click the Property Alert button above.

View the property

Once you have found a property you would like to view, please get in touch with us to arrange a viewing. Applicants should be in a position to commence the tenancy within approximately one month of applying. Most tenancies are offered as periodic tenancies in line with current legislation. Expected tenancy lengths and any minimum occupation requirements will be discussed with you before proceeding with an application.

Once you have viewed a property that you would like to rent you can complete an online application form. Once the landlord has agreed to proceed a holding fee of 1 weeks rent per property is payable. You will then be referenced and for this we use a referencing company. Please note that the referencing company requires tenants to earn 30 x 1 month’s rent between them to rent a property (e.g. 30 x £600pcm = £18,000p.a.).

Right to Rent

To comply with Right to Rent requirements, all adult occupiers aged 18 or over must provide acceptable identification before the tenancy begins. This may be checked either by seeing original documents or, where applicable, by using a Home Office share code.

We may also request proof of current address, such as a recent utility bill, as part of our application and referencing process.

Separate record-keeping requirements may also apply for occupiers aged 16 or over under the Immigration (Hotel Records) Order 1972

Pay deposit

Once references are successful and prior to moving into a property you will be required to pay a security deposit in addition to the first rent payment. The deposit will be equal to 5 weeks rent (6 weeks rent, where the annual rent is greater than £50,000.00).

Arrange a move in date

We will then arrange a suitable date and time for you to move into your new home.

First month’s rent

The first month’s rent is due, in cleared funds, no later than the day before you move in.

Moving in to your new property

On the day of your check in we will give you a time to come to our office to collect the keys.
