TENANCY DEPOSIT AND TENANCY DEPOSIT PROTECTION
Barton Wykes has chosen to use the custodial scheme provided by The Deposit Protection Service.  More information regarding the scheme can be found at www.depositprotection.com .

If you decide to hold the deposit you must specify to Barton Wykes prior to the start of the tenancy under which other Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme the deposit will be covered.  You must provide proof of membership, together with a copy of the insurance policy before the deposit can be released.

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
We shall deal with day-to-day management matters.  Unless otherwise instructed we will endeavour to contact you for approval for each repair.  If we do not receive contrary instructions from you in writing within forty-eight (48) hours of seeking your instruction we will proceed with your full authority to act as we deem appropriate having regard to your contractual and statutory obligations.

PROPERTY VISITS
We will conduct visits to your property throughout the term of the tenancy.  A written report will be forwarded to you if applicable.

TENANCY DEPOSIT AND TENANCY DEPOSIT PROTECTION
Barton Wykes will not hold deposits for Landlords using the “Let Only” service, as we would have no knowledge of the day-to-day running of the tenancy to be able to assist if a dispute arose.

Barton Wykes can accept the deposit on your behalf and transfer it to a designated account provided that you show proof of membership of a deposit protection scheme, together with a copy of the insurance policy.

If you are not a member of a scheme already, Barton Wykes suggests you join the free custodial scheme provided by The Deposit Protection Service.  More information regarding the scheme can be found at www.depositprotection.com .  Barton Wykes will then transfer the deposit directly into this scheme on your behalf.

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
We will provide to the tenant your relevant contact details so that they are able to report any maintenance issues directly to you.
