HOW TO RENT GUIDE
This guide (How to rent – the checklist for renting in England) is for people who are about to rent - a property or a room.
When signing a rental contract (an assured shorthold tenancy, AST) you are entering into a contractual arrangement. This gives you some important rights but also some responsibilities.
This guide will help you to understand what questions to ask, what your rights are, and what responsibilities you have. This will help you create a positive relationship with your landlord, and will also tell you how to get help if things go wrong.
We will always provide you with a copy of this guide before you sign the AST so you can use this as a checklist; however, you can also access it by clicking here - or on the picture.
There are certain additional criteria when you live in a shared house, click here for an overview of these.
