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 (£1003.84), rent and a 05-week security deposit (£5019.23) that will be payable before the tenancy starts.

Student - To pass standard student referencing - Each 3rd or 4th year student will need to supply the following - An in-date passport and photo driving licence, current proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, fully signed tenancy agreement), in-date photo student card with student number, proof of course (letter form university confirming placement and dates etc).

Student tenant references required - Previous/current landlord reference, credit check, ID check, government right to rent check.

Guarantor - To pass standard guarantor referencing - An annual combined household income of approx. +£156,600 pa (36 x rent/ 6 = +£26,100 pp pa) from full time permanent employment or pension income will be needed to pass reference checks.

Each guarantor will need to be a UK based homeowner in full time permanent employment or pension income, earning +£26,100 pp pa.

Each guarantor will need to supply the following - an in-date passport and photo driving licence, current proof of address (utility bill, visa/bank statement). Guarantor references required - Affordability check, employment reference, ID check, credit check.

Rent: A tenant's regular payment to a landlord for the use of the property.

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.

Charging to vary a tenancy: When a tenant has requested it, landlords and agents can charge to vary, assign, or replace a tenancy. Such fees are capped at £50 unless the landlord can demonstrate that greater costs were incurred, meaning tenants will need to pay for and cover any of the landlord's reasonable costs. All tenants and their guarantor will sign a tenancy agreement, agreeing to the clauses listed within, the tenancy agreement is joint and severally liable.

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.

Green Deal: Green Deal payments are exempt from the ban. Green Deal charges must be outlined in the tenancy agreement and prospective tenants must be made aware of any obligation to pay a Green Deal charge, so they can make an informed decision.

Payments for a television licence: A payment that a tenant is required to make to have a television licence is a permitted payment if the tenant is required by the tenancy agreement to make the payment.

Communication services: Agents and landlords are permitted to charge tenants' fees associated with communication services, such as telephone (other than a mobile), Internet, cable/satellite television, if this is clear in the tenancy agreement.
