By law from 01.05.26 we cannot accept more than one month's rent in advance (even if an applicant offers more), and we will ask for this to be paid once a tenancy agreement has been completed. We can however ask for the Deposit to be paid prior to signing and in some cases we may request this.
The property will be let on a 12 month Assured Periodic Tenancy. Tenants can end the tenancy at any point by giving two months' written notice, so the tenancy ends at either the start (the rent due date) or end of a rental period (the day before the rent is due).
