COVID Update

The office is now open, however we are still requesting that tenants and landlords call to arrange an appointment if they wish to come to the office.

What is Fit Propertys plans for maintenance?

Maintenance will be dealt with where necessary while following government guidance. Tenants living in a property where maintenance is due to be carried out, should where possible, social distance from the contractor. Contractors will be instructed to wear PPE.

What if I want to view a property?

Please contact the office via phone (0114 2725773) or email [email protected]. We will initially carry out 'video viewings' of any properties you are interested in.

Physical viewings are able to go ahead however will only be arranged after virtual viewings. Viewings will be limited to a amximum of 4 people to attend.

Any applicants wanting to view a property, must wear a face covering.

Do I still need to pay my rent?

You will still be expected to pay rents during this time. If you are a working professional experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 outbreak, please email [email protected] and we will liaise with the landlord regarding putting a payment plan in to place.

For any students who have decided to move back home to parents/guardians houses, your rent will still be payable as your tenancy agreement is still in place. At the moment student loans are due to still be paid on the next instalment therefore we do not expect there to be an issue paying your rent as planned.

What if I am due to move in to a new property?

Government guidance has allowed for move ins and move outs to go ahead. If you are moving in to a property, you will be contacted via email to explain the process and what is expected of you at your move in appointment.

URGENT: YOU MUST INFORM FIT PROPERTY IF YOU ARE SELF ISOLATING TO AVOID US ENTERING THE PROPERTY
