Letting agents can get in trouble if they are found to be charging extra fees which are not included in the tenancy agreement, or are not a deposit or rent. Make sure you know your rights!

Your landlord must also abide by reasonable hours. What this means can depend on your occupation. However, in an emergency such as noticing the smell of gas, or a fire, your landlord can gain access immediately.

It is illegal for your security deposit more than 5 weeks rent if you earn under £50,000 a year! Your deposit also must be protected and kept safe in a TPD until your tenancy is over.

[openTenancy @opentenancy_]

It is always worth checking the average price and rent of properties in your area, and having a discussion with the landlord. Any changes to rent must be included when signing a new tenancy agreement after a fixed term, and notice given.

Save the planet, and money on your bills! Having an energy efficient home is a good way to lower your carbon footprint, as well as spend less on heating.

[openTenancy @opentenancy_]

Remember to take care of electrical safety in your rented property! If there are any problems found during the check, your landlord must fix them within 28 days.

[openTenancy @opentenancy_]

Ensuring fire safety in your rented property is important for peace of mind and well being, as well as being the law! Make sure your landlord protects you and check for a fire safety label on any furniture provided in the property.
