Renting from a Private Landlord

<<< back to article list

Private landlords will normally rent their property at the market rate and their right to increase the rent depends on the type of tenancy. Make sure you get a tenancy agreement and read it carefully before committing to it.

A private landlord will normally ask for a deposit. You should make sure that the condition of the property and any items of furniture are recorded in an inventory and the tenancy agreement states: how much the deposit is and who holds it
when money can be deducted from the deposit (for unpaid rent or damage to property)
when you will get the deposit back
You can contact your local council to see if they have a list of accredited landlords in your area. You can also search for a letting agent who is registered with the government backed National Approved Letting Scheme on their website.
