Terms & Conditions

T&Cs

What do these terms and conditions apply to?

These reservation service terms and conditions set out the basis on which Fizzy Services Management LLP (“Fizzy Services Management”, “we” or “us”) will deal with your enquiries, process your reservation application and provide our reservation service to you. Fizzy Services Management LLP is a subsidiary of Fizzy Enterprises LLP. These terms and conditions apply to enquiries and reservations made via this Site, telephone, email or otherwise, even if you do not eventually sign up to an agreement with one of our affiliates as your landlord and you as tenant (a "Tenancy Agreement"). If you do sign up to a Tenancy Agreement, your relationship with your landlord will be governed by such Tenancy Agreement.

Please read these terms carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law. You accept and agree to be bound by these terms by using this Site. If you do not agree to these reservation service terms and conditions, please do not sign-up to or use the Site.

Our reservation service is only available to individuals who are aged 18 or over.

These reservation service terms and conditions and any Tenancy Agreement are available in the English language only.

If you have any questions on the reservation service terms and conditions please contact hello@fizzyliving.com.

How do I make a reservation? And how does Fizzy Services Management use User Data?

The following sets out the reservation process and describes the reservation service that we will provide to you.

STAGE ONE - RESERVATION

Making an Enquiry

The first stage of making a reservation requires you to submit an enquiry via our website(s), a property portal, email, telephone, live chat or social media. Once you have made an initial enquiry, we will contact you to discuss your requirements. Following this, we may arrange a viewing or discuss the next steps of making a reservation for a Fizzy flat.

At this stage, we ask the following information: full name, contact details (email and contact telephone number) and employment status in addition to your requirements which include preferred move in date, how many bedrooms, budget, etc.

We will then book in a viewing with you and a member of the Fizzy team. At the viewing, we will carry out "Right to Rent" checks where we will ask all prospective tenants to show original documents to confirm their right to rent; these are detailed in the Home Office guide here. We will make a copy of each prospective tenant's documents and record the date they are checked. If you proceed with reserving a flat, the copies of the right to rent documents will be saved during your tenancy for 12 months. If you choose not to proceed with reserving a flat, the copies of the right to rent documents will be deleted immediately.

During Stage One of the process, we can make no guarantee that any suggested property will be and/or remain available for you or that any subsequent tenancy application will be successful.

Making a Reservation

You are able to reserve a Fizzy flat directly on our Site or by contacting the Lettings Team. The Lettings Team will confirm details of the flat reservation via email or telephone and send you a booking link. The booking link email will come from flatfair, our referencing partner. In order to complete the reservation process and to register your interest in the suggested property, you will be required to log-in and start your application.

Once you have been sent the booking link email, the chosen Fizzy flat will be held under your name for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the flat will be released back on to the market so please ensure you make the holding deposit payment within these 24 hours.

If you decide to go ahead and make a reservation in respect of the chosen property, you will need to log-in, fill out your details and make the reservation deposit to confirm your interest and submit your reservation request. You will be asked to input your details and any details of additional tenants. You will then be asked to confirm your acceptance of our relevant terms and conditions, including the Tenancy Agreement that you will sign up to should your reservation request and any subsequent tenancy application be successful and you wish to proceed and rent the property. Your landlord under the Tenancy Agreement will be one of our affiliates, either Fizzy Epsom LLP, Fizzy Canning Town LLP, Fizzy Poplar LLP, Fizzy Stepney Green LLP, Fizzy Lewisham LLP, Fizzy Lewisham B1 LLP, Fizzy Walthamstow LLP, Fizzy Hayes LLP or Fizzy East16 LLP whose details will be set out in your Tenancy Agreement.

Holding Deposit

In order for us to process your reservation and secure your chosen Fizzy flat, we will ask you to pay the holding deposit which will be credited against your move in monies before moving into your flat.

The holding deposit is non-refundable if a tenant provides false or misleading information, they fail a Right to Rent check, withdraw from the proposed agreement (decide not to let) or fail to take all reasonable steps to enter an agreement (i.e. responding to reasonable requests for information required to progress the agreement) when the landlord has done so.

Once you have submitted your reservation request via the tenant portal and we receive payment of your holding deposit, we will then set aside your chosen property for 15 days while we process your reservation application.

Flat Type	Charge (incl. VAT)
Studio	£200

How to make payments

Tenant charges are made by debit cards only. Cash or cheques are not accepted. Fizzy takes payments securely online by bank transfer or standing orders. Fizzy operates on a continuous payment authority basis.

Flatfair Credit and Reference Checks

Once your reservation request has been made and the holding deposit has been paid and your details have been provided to flatfair - referencing will begin. Flatfair will perform various checks that are required to approve your eligibility to enter into the Tenancy Agreement ("Credit and Reference Checks"). For further information flatfair and their privacy policy can be accessed via the sign-up platform or viewed here.

It is your responsibility to promptly provide any information required by flatfair in order to carry out the Credit and Reference Checks. Please note that where the Credit and Reference Checks have not been successfully completed within the 15 working day period referred to above, the property we have set aside for you may no longer be available.

Flatfair will check for the following criteria for each applicant:

Credit score
Credit check; a check reporting on any adverse credit history eg. CCJs or IVAs
Right to Rent documentation
Affordability of the property; the joint gross household income must meet the criteria of 2.66 times the annual rent. Fizzy will ask for advance rental payments if a household does not pass the affordability criteria.
Income reference; written evidence from your employer to verify you are employed with the company, earnings, type of employment (fixed or temporary) and start date of employment. If you are in probationary period with your employer, Fizzy will ask for advance rental payments. If are you self-employed, you must provide 12 months accountant records. If you are self-employed and cannot provide a 12 month history via your accountant, we will ask for a minimum of 12 months' rent in advance.
Landlord reference; reference from a previous landlord confirming details about your tenancy such as rent paid and length of tenancy
Proof of address; you will be asked to provide the proof of your address. This evidence can be provided by submitting documents such as a council tax bill, utility bill, bank statement or drivers license.

Entry into the Tenancy Agreement is subject to successful completion of these credit and reference checks and Fizzy is under no obligation to accept you as a tenant at this stage of the reservation process. Please bear in mind that we do consider all applicants individual circumstances before proceeding with a tenancy.

If you have no income or are a student, you are able to rent with Fizzy provided you are able to provide a UK based guarantor (who passes the affordability criteria of 4 times annual rent) or pay a minimum of 12 months’ rent in advance.

STAGE TWO - ABOUT YOU

While your Credit and Reference Checks are being processed, you will be required to provide further details via the tenant portal in order to submit your tenancy application. This includes information relating to your emergency contacts, additional tenants and what additional services you may require.

At this stage we will ask you to review all of the details you have provided to us and confirm that such information is correct before submitting your tenancy application to us via the tenant portal. If any of the details are not correct customers are able to amend personal details inputted at any stage prior to signing their tenancy agreement. Following signature, Fizzy are able to make any amendments on your instruction.

Please inform us promptly of any changes to those details, including any changes to your contact details. You acknowledge that we will not be liable to you if you do not receive a communication from us because you have failed to inform us of changes to your contact details.

STAGE THREE - TENANT APPROVAL

We will send you an email to inform you whether your tenancy application has been approved. If your application is rejected then please refer to our Cancellations section below.

If your application is successful and you are approved as a tenant, you will be required to log-in to the tenant portal to review your Tenancy Agreement, review all charges payable under your Tenancy Agreement and review the terms of any other services which will be provided to you by third parties (for example, broadband services).

Initial rent amount. If you move in between the 1st to 15th of any month, you will pay from the move in date until the end of that month. If you move in from the 16th day of any month, you will pay from the move in date until the end of that month and all of the following month. Monthly rent amounts are due on the 1st day of every month.

Deposits. The deposit is £1,000 for a studio and one bedroom flat and £1,600 for a two bedroom or three bedroom flat, and is held for you by My Deposit. The deposit covers all damages to the flat and/or furnishings that may occur during your tenancy.

Fizzy also partner with flatfair who offer a no deposit alternative which is a one off payment of £350 per property. Please contact Fizzy for more information on this.

Heating and/or utilities are listed as a separate charge. These adjusted monthly charges are calculated in the same way as the initial rent amount.

You will then be requested to confirm your acceptance and sign up to your Tenancy Agreement via the Site. This must be done within 5 working days, otherwise we cannot guarantee that the property will still be available.

Once you have signed up to the Tenancy Agreement, your rights and obligations to your landlord, including all payments due, shall be governed by the terms of your Tenancy Agreement. Your Tenancy Agreement will set out the date that your tenancy will begin.
