When a suitable property to rent has been found ALL persons aged eighteen or over will complete an Application Form and will be named in the Tenancy Agreement.
For professional tenants we will take up references, which may include a bank reference for which your bank will charge a nominal fee, a credit reference, an employer’s /accountant’s and previous landlord reference.
Before your tenancy commences you will be required to pay a security deposit. Your deposit will be protected by ‘MyDeposits’
The deposit is held against any damages or expenses arising during your tenancy and will not be released until after you vacate the property, all rent has been paid up to date and proof of all closed utility accounts in the Tenant’s name(s) have been supplied to us.
An Inventory and Schedule of Condition of the property, documenting its contents, furniture, fittings and condition will normally have been prepared. It is important that you take care in agreeing the Inventory at the beginning of your tenancy as it will form the basis of any claim for damages.

Turner provides high quality professional accommodation in central Reading.
We are a family run business and manage our own properties.
We have an array of different types of accommodation but specialise shared accommodation. Many of our houses have high-end en-suite bedrooms with luxurious communal areas.
Make an online viewing request or email us at lettings@turnerproperty.net
We would be very happy to send you a sample contract and answer any questions that you may have.
To provide you with hassle free living your rent includes council tax and utilities.
We try to be as flexible as possible to suit the demands of your employment so our standard tenancies are usually 12 months with a 6 month break clause. This means that tenants are able to give two months’ notice on or before their rent due date from 6 months onwards. We also offer tenancies of a fixed 12 month basis should tenants request this.
If this is your first full-time job after university we are likely to ask you for a guarantor who agrees to pay the rent should you not be able to. Guarantors are usually parents or guardians. They will need to be a UK homeowner to qualify to be able to stand as the guarantor.
Turner provides high end student accommodation on the doorstep of Reading University.
We are a family run business and manage our own properties.
We have a large range of student accommodation to suit different size groups as well as Hillside Court that offers a more student village feel. Many of our properties are next to each other so we can cater for groups who want to live near or adjacent to each other.

We would be very happy to send your parents a sample contract and answer any questions that they may have.
Many of our student houses are let to a group of students under one AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy). Joint and several liability means that tenants are individually and jointly responsible for paying the rent and for all other tenants’ responsibilities during the tenancy.
Students in Reading generally start to look for next year’s accommodation between 1st October to 15th December, though we are happy to take enquiries from students earlier.
As in many cases the student loan doesn’t cover both accommodation and living costs. We therefore ask for a guarantor to agree to pay the students’ rent if the student is unable to do so. Guarantors are usually parents or guardians and they need to be a UK homeowner to qualify to be able to stand as the guarantor.
