Tenancy application

All occupants over the age of 18 years must be named as a tenant on any approved agreement, and complete details for each adult will therefore be required.

Initial payment must be made by bank deposit/internet banking, or money order/bank cheque. Personal cheques will not be accepted.

APPLICATION

I, the Applicant, hereby apply for approval by the owner of the Premises referred to in this form to become a tenant of those Premises on the terms and conditions contained in this form and in the Residential Tenancy Agreement to be drawn up by the owner's Real Estate Agent.

HOLDING FEES FOR APPROVED APPLICANTS

In accordance with Section 24 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010, it is hereby acknowledged that the taking of the Holding Fee referred to in this Application is subject to the following conditions:

The Applicant, if approved, will pay a Holding Fee equivalent to 7 days rent to hold the premises in favour of the Applicant for a period of 7 days from the date of payment.

1. If the Applicant has paid a holding fee, the landlord must not enter into a residential tenancy agreement for the Premises with any other person within 7 days of payment of the fee (or within such further period as may be agreed with the tenant) unless the tenant notifies the landlord that the tenant no longer wishes to enter into the residential tenancy agreement.
2. A holding fee may be retained by the landlord only if the tenant enters into the residential tenancy agreement or refuses to enter into the residential tenancy agreement.
3. A holding fee must not be retained by the landlord if the tenant refuses to enter into the residential tenancy agreement because of a misrepresentation or failure to disclose a material fact by the landlord or landlord's agent.
4. If a residential tenancy agreement is entered into after the payment of a holding fee, the fee must be paid towards the rent.
5. A tenant cannot be asked to pay a holding fee unless the tenant's application has been approved by the landlord and the holding fee does not exceed 1 week's rent of the Premises.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE TENANTS

The availability of telephone lines; internet services; analogue, digital or cable television (and the adequacy of such services); are the sole responsibility of the tenant(s) and tenants should make their own enquiries as to the availability and adequacy of such services before accepting the tenancy of the property. The landlord does not warrant that any telephone plugs, antenna sockets or other such service points located in the property are serviceable, or will otherwise meet the requirements of the tenant, and tenants must rely on their own enquiries.

Prior to or at the time of taking up occupancy of the Premises, the Tenant agrees to open utility accounts for electricity and gas (if required) with their preferred supplier, and further agrees to pay all accounts for utilities, telephone/internet and cable television for the duration of the tenancy.
