Viewings are strictly by prior appointment through Chambers Estate Agents (Cardiff) Limited. Following acceptance of an application, Chambers Estate Agents (Cardiff) Limited may request a refundable holding deposit equivalent to one weeks rent in order to reserve the property, subject always to the prospective contract-holder having first been provided with the prescribed holding deposit information required under Welsh legislation. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the relevant deadline for agreement will be 15 calendar days from receipt of the holding deposit. Where an occupation contract is entered into, the holding deposit may be applied towards the first payment of rent or the security deposit. Where an occupation contract is not entered into, the holding deposit will be dealt with in accordance with the Renting Homes (Fees etc.) (Wales) Act 2019 and any applicable regulations.

Letting agents in Wales are required to make available to prospective contract-holders details of relevant permitted payments, redress scheme membership and client money protection arrangements. Chambers Estate Agents (Cardiff) Limited will provide full details of all applicable permitted payments before any payment is requested. No prohibited payment will be required from a prospective contract-holder or contract-holder.

Where a security deposit is payable under the occupation contract, whether paid by the contract-holder or by another person on the contract-holders behalf, it will be protected in an authorised tenancy deposit scheme in accordance with the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 and all applicable regulations. The landlord, or Chambers Estate Agents (Cardiff) Limited where acting on the landlords behalf, will comply with the initial requirements of the relevant authorised deposit scheme and provide the required prescribed information to the contract-holder and to any relevant person who paid the deposit on the contract-holders behalf within 30 days of receipt.

The deposit will be held as stakeholder unless otherwise confirmed in writing and will be registered with the Deposit Protection Service. The deposit is not a payment to the landlord or agent and remains protected for the duration of the occupation contract in accordance with the rules of the Deposit Protection Service.

At the end of the occupation contract, the landlord or Chambers Estate Agents (Cardiff) Limited will notify the contract-holder within 10 working days if any deductions are proposed from the deposit. Any proposed deductions must be reasonable, properly evidenced and limited to losses arising from the contract-holders obligations under the occupation contract. Subject to agreement between the parties, the balance of the deposit will be returned within the timescales required by the Deposit Protection Service.

Deductions from the deposit may be sought where properly due for rent or other sums payable under the occupation contract which remain unpaid, reasonable compensation for damage to the property, fixtures, fittings, furniture or contents beyond fair wear and tear, the reasonable cost of cleaning, clearance or disposal where the property is not returned in the condition required by the occupation contract, unpaid utilities, water charges, environmental services, council tax or similar charges for which the contract-holder is responsible, reasonable costs arising from a breach of the occupation contract, and any penalty or charge imposed by a third party, local authority, managing agent or block manager where caused by the act or omission of the contract-holder. Any assessment will take account of fair wear and tear, the age and condition of the item, the contents and condition at the start of the occupation contract, and the landlords repairing obligations.

If the contract-holder disputes any proposed deduction, the contract-holder should notify the landlord or Chambers Estate Agents (Cardiff) Limited in writing within 10 working days of receiving the proposed deductions. Where agreement cannot be reached after reasonable attempts to resolve the matter, either party may refer the dispute to the alternative dispute resolution service provided by the Deposit Protection Service. The statutory rights of both the landlord and the contract-holder to pursue a claim through the court remain unaffected.

Where there is more than one contract-holder, any one contract-holder may, unless otherwise agreed in writing, provide instructions relating to the release of the deposit or the use of the Deposit Protection Services dispute resolution process on behalf of all contract-holders. Repayment of the deposit, or any agreed balance, to one contract-holder may discharge the landlord and Chambers Estate Agents (Cardiff) Limited from further liability for the amount repaid. Where the landlords interest in the property is transferred during the occupation contract, the deposit may be transferred or dealt with in accordance with the rules of the Deposit Protection Service and the statutory requirements applying at that time.

Any goods, belongings or personal effects left at the property after the occupation contract has ended will be handled in accordance with the landlords legal obligations. The landlord or Chambers Estate Agents (Cardiff) Limited will use reasonable endeavours to contact the contract-holder before any disposal takes place. The contract-holder may be responsible for the reasonable and properly evidenced costs of removal, storage, disposal or any additional inventory attendance where such costs arise as a result of belongings being left at the property after the contract has ended.

Only permitted payments may be requested from a prospective contract-holder or contract-holder. These may include rent, a refundable security deposit, a refundable holding deposit, payments in default, and payments for utilities, communication services, television licence, council tax or other services where the contract-holder is responsible under the occupation contract. Any default payment must arise from a breach of the occupation contract or from a contract-holders request, must be reasonable, and must be supported by written evidence where applicable.

Where a contract-holder requests to end a fixed-term occupation contract early, the landlord is not obliged to agree. If early release is agreed, the contract-holder may be responsible for the landlords reasonable and evidenced costs arising from the early termination and re-letting of the property, together with rent, council tax and utilities until the earlier of the date a replacement occupation contract begins or the end of the fixed term. Any such costs will not exceed the actual financial loss suffered by the landlord and will be confirmed in writing.

Where the contract-holders actions result in a missed appointment, including refusal of access or failure to provide access for a pre-arranged visit, contractor attendance, inspection or other appointment, the contract-holder may be liable for the landlords reasonable and evidenced costs directly incurred as a result, including contractor call-out charges where applicable.

Where keys, fobs, access cards or other security devices are lost or not returned, the contract-holder may be liable for the reasonable and evidenced cost of replacement, including locksmith charges, replacement locks where reasonably required, key cutting, replacement security devices and any additional keys required for the contract-holder, landlord, agent or other authorised persons.

Where the contract-holders actions or omissions result in an emergency or out-of-hours contractor attendance, the contract-holder may be liable for the reasonable and evidenced costs incurred, including contractor call-out charges, provided that the issue arose from the contract-holders act, omission or breach of the occupation contract.

Where the contract-holder causes avoidable, deliberate or negligent damage to the property, fixtures, fittings, furniture, contents or communal areas, the contract-holder may be liable for the reasonable and evidenced cost of remedying that damage, including contractor invoices, materials and necessary associated costs, subject always to fair wear and tear and the landlords statutory repairing obligations.
