In relation to ‘Changing the contract’ as mentioned above in point 4, the following is a non-exhaustive list of changes that could result in you having to pay a fee of £50.00 to us as your Managing Agents if you request and we/your Landlord agree to:
- A variation to the agreement to allow you to keep a pet in the premises
- A change of identity of the tenants in the agreement (this includes adding, substituting and/or removing a person or people);
- Permission for the agreement to be varied so as to allow you to run as business from the premises;
- Permission for the agreement to be varied so as to allow a permitted occupier to occupy the property along with the named tenants in the agreement
Important Notice: This document should not be read as permitting any changes to the main agreement or be taken as giving warranty that requests to vary the main agreement will be agreed or consented to. We will however, consider any reasonable requests that are made.
Burnet Ware uses the TDS to protect all deposits unless the landlord uses their own deposit protection scheme. All client monies are held in a ring fenced client account separate from any trading accounts as a result.
