Deposit and costs

• A tenant always pays a deposit before moving in to a rental property.
• If handled correctly, the deposit remains the property of the tenant until the tenant leaves the property.
• It is recommended that this amount be held by the letting agent whether they are managing the property or not.
• It should not be used for any purpose other than as stated in the agreement.

What you need to remember

• When you find a property you like, you will need to be ready to provide references and a deposit.
• You then need to concentrate on the move itself getting in touch with utility providers to arrange your gas and electric connection.
• You also need to think about insuring your possessions.
