Dont do it and if you do don't use the Urban Letting Agency as they are a bunch of lying crookes.

 

You become legally liable for what happens to your property and the tenants. The contract is between you and the tenant, the agents have no legal responsibility.

 

Your choice

[rach108 10]

Get legal advice. Make sure everything in the property is working properly. You can be sued as a landlord for shortcomings. Get references and adequate bond. Get a good assured shorthold tenancy agreement. Write an inventory. Be aware that evicting a tenant for any reason may cost you money and time. Protect their deposit inline with the tenancy deposit scheme. Do not take tenants at their word. Protect yourself. Don't accept DSS.
