Do I qualify for a C~urb Lettings Property?

The monthly rent must not be more than 35% of your gross monthly household income. You will need to provide your most recent three months’ bank statements and  payslips . These are used to carry out an affordability assessment, comparing the monthly rent for the property to your monthly income.  

Once your application has been approved, a credit check is carried out and references will be requested.

How are C~urb lettings homes allocated?

We assess complete applications on a first received, first processed basis. Factors considered when allocating a property include (but are not limited to): 

  • Size of household – the size of your household compared to the size of the property. For example, a household of two adults and one child would be eligible to apply for a two- or three-bedroom property only 
  • Housing need – your current accommodation status and suitability.  
  • Affordability – your ability to sustain a tenancy financially. We check this by comparing your household income to the monthly rent of the property.  
  • References – we require a satisfactory reference from your current landlord and/or employer.  

Do C~urb Lettings have accessible properties?

Yes, we have a small number of accessible homes. Properties generally include widened hallways and doors, and level access showers. Specifications can vary; the property advert will provide full property-specific details.  

When allocating accessible properties, we prioritise applicants who will make use of these accessible features. 

What is included in C~urb lettings properties?

All C~urb Lettings properties are unfurnished. Details of any floor coverings, blinds or white goods provided with a property will be outlined on individual property adverts.

C~urb Lettings tenants have access to the C~urb Property Maintenance repairs service.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, you will pay a security deposit of one months' rent plus £100. You are also required to pay one months rent in advance before the start date of your tenancy.  

What is the Private Resident Tenancy (PRT)

The Private Resident Tenancy (PRT) was introduced by the Scottish Government as the standard tenancy agreement for private residential tenancies created on or after 1st December 2017.

   

The purpose of the PRT is to improve security, stability and predictability for tenants and provide safeguards for landlords. PRT tenancies are open-ended, meaning no initial fixed-term, and ‘no fault’ evictions have been abolished so tenants can only be evicted for specific wrongdoing.  

 

PRT rent levels can only be increased once in 12 months.  

 

The process for ending tenancies has been simplified; tenants are required to give 28 days’ notice regardless of how long they have been in the property.
