If you find a property you’d like to rent through Lyons, it time to put forward an offer. Your offer is not just financial but also about your situation. We’ll ask question in regard to your employment status, how many people will be living in the property and your move in dates. We’ll then liaise with the landlord for a decision.
Once an offer is accepted, we’ll ask for a 1 week rent holding deposit. This will secure the property to you, the property will then be suspended from marketing. The holding deposit is handshake and will be deducted from the balance of move in funds.
There is absolutely no fees for tenants. We only ever request a security deposit and rental money.

Lyons will instruct a professional third party inventory to be carried out. The Inventory will note in depth the condition of the property and its contents all backed up with detailed photographs. The Inventory document is then shared with all parties to sign at the beginning of the tenancy to confirm that it’s accurate. Any discrepancies should be raised at this point. At the end of the tenancy, the same document is then used compare the state of the property and on the findings of this comparison the deposit is then awarded appropriately.
Ending your tenancy, will require for you to give Lyons notice in writing - an email will do. In most cases notice will be 1-2 months. We will in most cases need to put the property back on the market and conduct viewings for new tenants, we’ll give you at least 24 hours notice.
If an inventory was compiled when you moved in, the inventory clerk will meet you at the property on your last day to conduct the check-out process and at that point you surrender the property back to the agency by handing over your keys. From that point on you will not be allowed to return to the property. Lyons will then be in touch with you within 10 days of that date to arrange the return of your deposit if there are no deductions. If, however the landlord wishes to make deductions from your deposit, there will be a set procedure for that to take place. Details of which can be found on the website for the deposit scheme that is being used.
