Renting In Sussex
We understand how difficult moving house can be and our aim is to make the process as stress-free as possible for you. Below is some information on what would be required for a tenant to rent from Foster & Co
Applicant & Prospective Tenant Information
We are delighted that you are considering renting a property through Foster & Co. Our aim is to make the lettings process as straightforward and transparent as possible. Before applying for a property, please take a few moments to read the information below. It explains what you can expect during the application process, your responsibilities as a tenant, and the documents we will provide.
Before You Reserve a Property
If you decide to proceed with an application, you will receive:
- Tenants information sheet 2026
- The Government's How to Rent guide.
- The property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
- Details of our tenant referencing process through Let Alliance.
Please ensure you understand the terms of the tenancy before entering into a legally binding agreement. If you are unsure about any aspect of the tenancy, we recommend seeking independent advice from a solicitor or Citizens Advice.
Understanding Your Tenancy Agreement
The Tenancy Agreement is the legal contract between you and your landlord. It sets out the agreed rent, tenancy term, deposit, and the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
The final agreement will include details such as:
- Property address
- Tenant(s) names
- Landlord details
- Rent and tenancy deposit
- Any additional agreed clauses
Please read the agreement carefully before signing, as it is legally binding
Your Main Home
Joint Tenancies
Additional Occupants
Guarantors
If your references or affordability do not meet the landlord’s requirements, you may be asked to provide a guarantor.
Your guarantor will be referenced and must agree to accept legal responsibility should you fail to meet your obligations under the tenancy.
If you do not have a suitable guarantor, you may be able to use Housing Hand or Rent Guarantor, an independent guarantor service.
Please note that the tenancy cannot proceed until all guarantor documentation has been completed.
Renters' Rights
Our procedures will always reflect current legislation, including the Renters’ Rights reforms where applicable.
Applying for a Property
Application Timescales
Once your offer has been accepted, we will agree a deadline for completing referencing, providing documents, and finalising the tenancy.
Failure to provide the required information within the agreed timescale may result in your application being withdrawn and, where permitted by law, your holding deposit may not be refunded.
Referencing
All applicants are subject to referencing.
This may include:
- Identity verification
- Credit checks (where applicable)
- Employment and income verification
- Previous landlord references
- Affordability assessment
There is no charge for our standard referencing process.
Documents We May Request
To support your application, we may ask for:
- Proof of identity
- Right to Rent documentation
- Proof of current address
- Proof of income
- Employment details
- Previous address history
- Guarantor information (if required)
Some documents may need to be provided in their original format.
Right to Rent
By law, we must carry out Right to Rent checks before a tenancy can begin.
Depending on your circumstances, we may require:
- Passport
- Share Code
- Visa or Residence Permit
- Other documentation permitted by Government guidance
We may also request proof of your current address, such as a recent utility bill or council tax statement.
Property Information
Property descriptions, photographs and floor plans are provided as a guide only.
We recommend viewing the property in person to ensure it meets your expectations before committing to a tenancy.
Rent Payments
Rent is normally payable monthly in advance by standing order.
The first month’s rent must be received in cleared funds before your tenancy begins.
Where rent is advertised weekly, calculations are based on 52 weeks per year.
Tenant Insurance
Holding Deposit
To reserve a property, we will normally request a holding deposit equivalent to one week’s rent.
This demonstrates both your commitment and the landlord’s intention to proceed while the property is removed from the market.
The holding deposit will usually be refunded or deducted from your first rent payment or tenancy deposit unless:
- you withdraw your application;
- you provide false or misleading information;
- you fail the Right to Rent check;
- you fail to take reasonable steps to progress your application within the agreed timescale.
Where a holding deposit is retained, we will explain the reasons in writing.
Tenancy Deposit
Before your tenancy starts, a tenancy deposit will be required.
The deposit will not exceed:
- Five weeks’ rent where the annual rent is £100,000 or less.
- Six weeks’ rent where the annual rent exceeds £100,000.
Your deposit will be protected in an approved Government tenancy deposit protection scheme where required by law.
Payment Methods
For security reasons, we only accept payments by:
- Bank transfer
- Standing order
All funds must have cleared before keys can be released.
