Lodger & House Share Services - Guide To Lodging For Landlords & Tenants

Lodging has been happening forever, and become more publicised and popular and easier to access this last few years. Lifestyles have changed and lots more people are contracting, divorcing and looking for a more social way of living. Most lodgers LimeCastle place are professional contractors on medium to long term contracts in Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands & Shropshire. However some clients include people in unfortunate situations who need some extra support. As well as finding you a tenant for your lodging Lea also helps to set up and manage shared houses for professional landlords. She can cater for most standards of room and house share with hundreds of rooms on her books.

So - how do Limecastle operate?

Well - First of all Limecastle take out the hassle. Lea and her team do all of the legwork, all the advertising and promotion, chasing viewings and much more. We have legal documents to help you feel secure with your house share. As professional agents we are well known in our area - and are the 'Go To' place for Rooms and House Shares. We talk to both parties finding out exactly what they expect - and try our very best to meet those expectations.

This is a unique service we offer to ensure lodgers and landlords get on well

We fill out a form - with both parties asking questions about requirements, likes, dislikes and allergies, lifestyle and work patterns. Once we have both forms we run them to find matches. By meeting both parties we are able to guess if your personality will match also!

It is so important when sharing your home that you get the right person, and no-one knows this better than us. Our team all have experience of either being a lodger or having lodgers, and are able to pass on the benefit of personal experience to you.

As a lodger the benefits are:

You pay weekly or monthly rent and that covers ALL of the household bills and your accommodation.

You will normally need to pay the first months rent and an additional month as a deposit. This is dependant on the landlord.

The lodger process:

- We meet you and take a profile from you

- We arrange viewing's on your behalf

- Once you are matched - you pay the reservation / admin fee

- We draw up the lodger agreement and you sign your part

- You move in! This can be done in a day if the landlord is ready!

Our agreements are there to protect both you and the landlord, and once you have viewed a property and have both agreed that you match, then we will form this agreement on your behalf. We strongly advise you not to move in without this in place.

As a landlord you have a duty of care to ensure the property is maintained to a safe and hygienic standard. Gas checks and PAT tests are not a legal requirement, but we would recommend you have this done for your own safety anyway. Landlords cannot ignore their liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence.

You would be expected to allow the lodger to have cupboards / space in the kitchen, somewhere to hang a towel to dry and facilities to wash, dry and iron clothes. It is down to you to agree with your lodger use of washing powder, dishwasher liquids and other household cleaning items.

There is a fee payable to us for sourcing a suitable lodger or tenant. This is dependant on volume of rooms and type of tenancy etc. Call for more details.

Landlords Process:

- We arrange to view and photograph your property and take a profile

- We run your details to see if we have current matches

- We then add your details to the property portals & our website

- We interview lodgers on your behalf and match based on what we know you want

- We arrange viewing's

- Once a match is made we take the tenants money and draw up the agreement

- We deduct our fee and give you the remainder

- Your lodger moves in!

Lodging deposits are not required to be held by the DPS if a house share agreement is used in preference to a AST.
