Hi all,
We've been offered a house to rent for when we arrive on 25th October but the landlord has said that we need to start paying from the 10th. He said that this is due to his old tennants moving out on that date and also that letting agents usually charge approx 2 weeks rent as a charge for sorting the rental out. As he isnt using letting agents he said that he normally just charges the tennants that anyway - seems a bit unfair to me! Has anyone had an similar experiences or has any knowledge if this sounds accurate.
One other thing, is a bond the same as a deposit?
Thanks
Tony
