An Assured Tenancy on a retirement rental gives you legal protection, meaning that if you abide by the conditions of your tenancy, you can live in the property for as long as you like. If you wish to move at the end of 12 months, then you can serve notice after 10 months to give two months’ notice. The notice period is always two months.

These give us the information we need to do standard background checks. You’ll be asked for proof of income, savings and/or pensions, along with copies of your last three months’ bank statements. You’ll also be asked to provide identification documents that comply with the latest Government Right to Rent regulations.

Yes. You pay a deposit to secure your rental retirement property which is offset against your first month’s rental payment. A Tenancy Deposit, equivalent to five weeks' rent, will need to be paid when your tenancy begins.
