Pre-letting Considerations

Before you let your property it is important to consider:

• Is my property suitable to let?
• What is an Assured Shorthold Tenancy and when should I use it?
• What if my tenant doesn't pay?
• Can I regain possession if my tenant does not want to leave at the end of the agreed tenancy?
• Will the deposit be covered by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme & Deposit Protection Service (The DPS)?
• Which bills are my responsibility and which are the tenant's?
• What insurance cover do I need?
