Find homes to rent in:

Before renting a property there are some important things you need to consider. You need to make sure you find a rental home that suits you, your needs and your lifestyle.

Who are you going to be renting with? Some people enjoy the freedom and benefits of living alone, but you need to consider the cost implications of this. You will have to cover all of the rent yourself and be responsible for all household bills. If you rent with other housemates, you can share the cost of the rent and split the bills between you.

Do you own a car? If so you may want to rent somewhere that has a garage or provides off road parking.

How much is the deposit? It’s extremely advisable that you rent from a letting agent that operates a tenancy deposit scheme and has Client Money Protection. This way your deposit is protected and in the unlikely event of wrong doing by the agent, NFoPP will consider a claim to compensate you.

Do you require the accommodation to be furnished or unfurnished? It’s important that you know what appliances the property comes with as you may need provide your own.

For those living in a property to rent, there are a number of benefits - for example, you won't need to worry about the general upkeep of the building or its surroundings and if an appliance breaks down, you won't be faced with the expense of replacing it.

But it can also help to know what your specific rights are as a tenant in rental homes. The covenant of quiet enjoyment states that your landlord cannot enter the property for rent without your permission. Additionally, the landlord must ensure that you have access to hot and cold water, heating and plumbing.
