Most tenancy agreements begin with a six-month fixed term. After this, the tenancy can continue on a monthly basis unless renewed. Tenants must provide one month’s written notice to leave after the fixed term, while landlords must provide two months’ notice to regain possession.

On your agreed move-in date, you’ll visit your CGT Lettings branch to collect your keys and complete your paperwork. You’ll receive your Tenant Pack, property inventory, certificates, and final instructions. All tenants must have signed the agreement and paid in full before keys can be released.

When you enquire or view a property, CGT Lettings will confirm the proposed availability date. A tenancy start date is agreed once the holding fee is paid, ensuring all parties are aligned and prepared for move-in.

In addition to protecting deposits and rental payments, CGT Lettings offers Damage Protection Insurance through The Lettings Hub. This provides enhanced cover for accidental, malicious, or theft-related damage—giving landlords extra security and tenants peace of mind.

All deposits are protected through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), and rent is paid monthly in advance by standing order. CGT Lettings ensures full legal compliance with ARLA Propertymark and Client Money Protection (CMP), so tenants can rest assured their money is safe.

All tenants applying for a property through CGT Lettings must pass referencing checks through Vouch before a tenancy is granted. This includes identity verification and income assessment, and additional documents may be required depending on employment or personal circumstances.
