PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    I've never not been asked. As soon as I've called a letting agent to view a property they ask you the same three questions - any pets, kids, are you a smoker?' As I can answer no to all three I do find it slightly amusing that those three things are linked together like that (as though they're all equally problematic), but it must be very irritating if you have to say 'yes' to any of them.

    Bit of a hassle for any LL to evict someone (for breach of contract?) if they say no to all 3 but actually do have pets/kids/a nicotine habit though. I'd say that you were safe for at least the minimum 6-month contract if you just said no. (No help to the OP I know).
