How to ensure a successful tenancy

Private rented properties are advertised via various means. Online search engines and local letting agents have properties for rent. Tenants must be ready to view properties quickly and have all their documentation ready. Documentation such as ID, bank details, benefits, references may be required as part of the sign up process.

It is important to never pay money without seeing a property. Take measures to avoid scams and protection against possible fraud.

Right to Rent

All landlords have a duty to check that a tenant or lodger can legally rent a residential property in England. Landlords are required to check and take copies of certain documentation to determine rental eligibility.
