Reply to Rent Guarantee Insurance

by Beswick

Contact an insurance broker and get their opinion. They should be quite knowledgeable, plus you've got the backup of their professional indemnity insurance and the Ombudsman if they sell you a policy that doesn't suit your needs.

Reply to New Tenancy Info Gathering Form

by DPT57

Prior to viewings I only ask a few questions over the phone to filter out those to whom I wouldn't rent. I do this because I haven't given them my privacy statement at that point. Once a tenant has been selected I give them the notice, get them to complete the application form and start referencing....

I ended my tenancy early. On the 1st of April I sent my landlord a text message stating that I'd 'transfer [April's] rent' to him, and that it would be my last month spent in the room. I initially...

Reply to Landlords' lack of rights?
