Fees and Rent

When I rented my flat 2 years ago I too had to pay the 6 months up front. I was lucky that I had just sold my house so took the rent from there
But to clarify for those who have asked, it was 6 months up front, then pay nothing for 6 months. I set up a separate account with only a passbook and used that to save up my rent for the next payment. After 18 months of this I was allowed to pay monthly
But yes, i agree it was a massive concern to me that along the line the LL or LA would go bankrupt and I'd lose the lot!0 -
Can you get a guarantor? if so you might be able to avoid the 6 months rent advance.
Just a thought as it worked for me!:hello:Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you’ll be surprised at how little you have.An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind0
