    SENECA LIVING

  • House Share Expectations


    You are applying to rent a room within a shared home. Successful house sharing relies on all occupants respecting both the property and the people they live with.

    Our aim is to provide clean, safe, well-managed homes where residents can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable living environment. To help achieve this, all tenants are expected to follow the house rules below throughout their tenancy.

    If you feel these expectations are unlikely to be a good fit for your lifestyle, we respectfully suggest that alternative accommodation may be more suitable.

     

    Seneca Living House Share Rules


    1. No smoking or drug use

    Smoking and the use of illegal drugs are strictly prohibited anywhere within the property. We operate a zero-tolerance policy.

    2. Overnight guests

    Overnight guests are permitted for a maximum of three nights within any seven-day period.

    Guests must always be accompanied by the tenant and must not be provided with keys or independent access to the property.

    3. Children

    Children under the age of 18 are not permitted to stay overnight at the property.

    4. Respect the peaceful enjoyment of others

    Your home should be a place of rest and relaxation for both you and your housemates. Please be considerate of noise levels and the needs of others at all times.

    5. Contribute to the household

    Shared living requires cooperation. Tenants are expected to clean up after themselves, dispose of rubbish appropriately and contribute to the smooth running of communal areas.

    6. Respect personal belongings

    Do not use, borrow or remove another resident's belongings without their permission.

    7. Respect personal boundaries

    Everyone has different preferences and boundaries. If a housemate raises a concern, we expect tenants to respond respectfully and make reasonable efforts to prevent the issue from recurring.

    8. Communicate respectfully

    Respectful communication is expected at all times, both towards fellow residents and members of the Seneca Living team. Abusive, aggressive, threatening or violent behaviour will not be tolerated.

    9. Respect the property

    Please help keep the property safe, secure and well maintained by locking doors and windows, using utilities responsibly and maintaining appropriate standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

    10. Be honest

    Accidents happen. If damage occurs, something breaks, or a problem arises, we ask that you notify us promptly. Open and honest communication helps us resolve issues quickly and maintain a positive living environment for everyone.

  • ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    Please provide copies of your last 3 months bank statements (plus savings if you think it will support your application). We assess your suitability for a tenancy by reviewing how you manage your money - i.e. your bank statements. We understand some people like to split their income into separate pots/bank accounts, and keep their 'bill paying' or 'everyday' account balance low. If this is you, we will also need to see balances in your other accounts/your savings accounts to evidence that you have positive money management skills. So please also upload the last 3 months full bank statements for these additional accounts.If privacy is a concern, we welcome redactions to the first 4 digits of the bank account number, and last 4 digits of the sort code. All other information (name, address, and full transaction transparency) is essential

  • Contact details for character reference request

    As you will be living in a shared accommodation, we like to obtain a character reference about you. The ideal person to provide a character reference for you 1) is not a family, friend or peer, 2) holds a position of authority over you eg a manager at work, business owner, solicitor, accountant, teacher/professor, mentor, coach, spiritual advisor/pastor/imam, and 3) has known you for a period of at least 6 months. Please provide the name and email address for someone who meets the above conditions, and we will reach out to them for the reference.
