How do I go about renting privately with no gurantor and not earning 3x the rent?

As long as you leave it in the cage then it's not considered a pet like a dog or a cat that can damage the landlords property.

Usually landlord's agent does the checking sometimes 6 months sometimes annually.

Sounds reasonable. Like I said my last flat was above a shop... so the landlord came up 2-3 times a day sometimes.

A pet is a pet, by all means bring it in against the landlords wishes, just dont be surprised when you get served notice at the first year/ 6 month break clause whatever

Well do they have to tell you before an inspection, like give notice or anything?

what do you mean by after the break clause, can they not evict you during a tenancy?

From reading your posts over the last few weeks would I be right in thinking you have Aspergers or something similar?....I also think that keeping a pet isn't a great idea, you have to be in control of your own life to take care of an animal and to be honest I don't think you are.

I was thinking the same, both points

Regardless of wether you can hide it or not (So youre aware then that this is against the landlords wishes) if the LL does find out they can serve notice once the AST ends, or invoke the break clause when it comes (If applicable)
They could evict for breach of contract re: the pet (Might be difficult though)

Although they don't need a reason, they can evict (at times allowed by the contract) for any reason they like or no reason.

I heard some landlords don't count caged pets as pets so I suppose I will have to ask the landlord.

Does the landlord have to give notice before he comes for an inspection?

Another note, will 6 months rent in advance work in replacement for earning 3x the rent? (or 1 year, depending how long the teneancy is)

How much notice do they have to give you by law usually. Is it 30 days?

And does said LL have to tell you 48 hours before they come to your property for inspection

Er... are we talking about an assured tenancy, AST or Lodger/ live in landlord? Cos you cant for the first 2 (Unless you meant when the contract ends?)

2 calendar months plus whatever period is remaining in the current rent month. i.e If the rent is due on the 1st of the month, if you got the notice to quit today you could stay till the 31st December. Then if you need it even longer if you couldn't find anywhere else to live and wait for court dates for the landlord to acquire possession and then bailiffs to evict you.

They should tell you within 48 hours but you can refuse the landlord access if you wish. The inspections have to be mutually agreed.
