Tenant Information

Looking to rent in Glasgow, Falkirk or Stirling?

We have both furnished and unfurnished flats and houses. See our current properties here, although our stock changes daily and you should contact us for current availability or to register your requirements.

All Tenants are required to undergo a credit and reference check before being offered a tenancy. Tenants are required to pay a deposit for all properties managed by ME Property Group, normally the equivalent to one month's rent.

GUIDE FOR TENANTS

Finding a property

The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we cannot always assist dss claimants. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.

Viewings

Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.

Reserving the property

Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a "holding deposit". Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However the deposit will be forfeit if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application.

References

As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit check will be undertaken. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.

Rents

Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is also responsible for Council Tax, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account.

Deposit

A security deposit of a minimum of one month"s rental will normally be required. This deposit will be held in a dedicated deposit account as per regulations in Scotland. The deposit is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent. You may be able to purchase a Zero Deposit Bond on selected properties for more information please contact us
