We may find a property for you within a matter of days,
so you need to understand the rental process first.
To protect both tenant and landlord rights, you will have to go through a series of checks, we may also require someone to guarantee your rent prior to a time being agreed to sign a tenancy agreement.
Prior to signing the contract, there are a number of costs that you need to budget for:
- your rental payment
- the deposit which is usually the equivalent to one month’s rent (a higher deposit may be required, depending on the circumstances)
- the bills you have to pay on top of the rent
Payments can be made by bank transfer, card, cash or cheque. Where cash has been received, a receipt will be provided for your record.
Please note that The Renting Homes (Fees etc) (Wales) Act came into effect on 1 September 2019 and as such, no fees are applied unless stated on our Tenant Fee Schedule.
