Acceptance of references and the offer of a tenancy is at our discretion.

The Tenancy: The property will be let on a fixed term Assured Shorthold Tenancy for an initial period of 6 months. There is no automatic provision within the lease for early termination and the tenant is responsible for rent for the whole term.
