Making a difference in the Rental Market.
Q: What types of rental agreements are there?
The most common is the Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST), usually 6 or 12 months. Other types include assured tenancies (longer-term) and licences (e.g., lodgers in someone’s home).
Q: Do I need to register as a landlord in the UK?
In England, there’s no general registration requirement, but certain councils run selective licensing schemes. In Wales, all landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, registration is mandatory.
Q: What upfront costs can a landlord or letting agent charge?
Since the Tenant Fees Act 2019, most upfront fees are banned. You can be charged for rent, deposit, and certain permitted fees like a lost key replacement or changes to the tenancy if requested by the tenant.
Q: Do I need Landlord Insurance?
Not by law, but it’s strongly recommended.
Q: Can the landlord keep the deposit?
Only if the tenant has caused damage, left the place dirty, or hasn’t paid rent. Any deductions must be explained in writing.
Q: What legal checks must I carry out on tenants?
You must conduct Right to Rent checks in England, confirm ID, and consider referencing for affordability and past rental history. In Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, right-to-rent rules differ.
Q: Do I need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
Yes, you must provide tenants with a valid EPC rated E or above before letting (with a few exceptions). The government plans to raise minimum standards in the future.
Q: How should I protect a tenant’s deposit?
In England and Wales, deposits must be lodged in a government-approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme within 30 days. In Scotland, it’s a Tenancy Deposit Scheme within 30 working days.
