Securing Your Dream Rental:
Once you've identified a few potential rentals, it's time to make contact with the letting agent.
At RE/MAX Lets, our local experts are here to answer your questions, schedule viewings, and guide you through the application process.
Be prepared to submit relevant documentation such as proof of income, references from previous landlords, and a completed application form.
Here are some key things to consider when applying for a rental property:
- Deposit: In Scotland, landlords are required to protect your tenancy deposit in a government-approved scheme. You'll typically pay an amount equivalent to two month's rent as a deposit.
-
Tenancy Agreements: A tenancy agreement outlines the terms and conditions of your lease, including rent amount, duration of the tenancy, and your responsibilities as a tenant. Always read and understand the agreement thoroughly before signing.
-
Guarantors: Some landlords may require a guarantor, particularly if you're a student or new to the rental market. A guarantor is someone who agrees to cover your rent if you are unable to do so.
