Your tenancy agreement

6.1

We may rent furniture to you with your home. You can ask for a partially or fully furnished tenancy at the start of your tenancy. The tenancy conditions are exactly the same but you have the added responsibility of taking care of the furniture. In both cases you will need to sign a full inventory (list) of the furniture provided. A copy of it will be attached to your tenancy agreement.

6.2

You will pay more rent for a partly furnished or fully furnished tenancy. If you decide you no longer want a particular item of furniture you may ask us to remove it, but this by itself will not change the amount of weekly rent you must pay. After 12 months of a furnished tenancy you may decide to change to a partly furnished or unfurnished tenancy. Your rent will be reduced accordingly. However, you may not change back again within two years.

6.3

You, your family or your visitors must not

6.3.1 sell, rent or give away any of the furniture,

6.3.2 deliberately damage or vandalise the furniture,

6.3.3 remove any of the furniture from your home without our permission.

If any of these things happen, we may apply to the court to re-possess your home and recharge you for any repairs or replacement. It is theft to sell,rent or give away our furniture. If you are responsible for such a theft, we will report it to the police.

6.4

You are responsible for looking after our furniture while it is in your home. If any furniture is accidentally damaged, you may be able to claim on your household contents insurance. Otherwise you will be responsible for the cost of repairing damage caused by you, your family or your visitors.

6.5

You must report to us immediately any repairs that are needed to the furniture. You must not try to repair any appliance we provide (such as a cooker or fridge). We will not charge you for any repair arising from a fault or through fair wear and tear.

6.6

You will get three days’ notice if we plan to visit your home to inspect, repair or maintain any item of furniture on the inventory. Failure to let us in would be a breach of your tenancy agreement and would entitle us to seek possession of your home.

6.7

If you tell us that you intend to end your tenancy, we will arrange to inspect the furniture before you leave. We may charge you for broken or damaged items.
