    Our experts answer your questions about renting a home

    Work out your budget for renting, including the bills you’ll be responsible for as a renter. Be clear on what you're looking for in your next property, book some viewings and have questions to ask the letting agent or landlord. Then prepare your documents (such as references and identification) and submit your renting application to the agent.

    To rent a house you'll need to provide character references from your current landlord and employer. You'll also need to prove your income by providing payslips and bank statements.

    The letting agent will run a credit check on you to understand if you can afford to pay the rent and if you're likely to pay it on time.

    The North East is the cheapest region to rent a home in the UK, followed by Northern Ireland, Scotland and Yorkshire and the Humber.

    The cheapest major cities to rent in are Aberdeen, Sheffield, Belfast and Newcastle.

    A tenancy agreement or Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST) is the standard contract for the vast majority of rental properties.

    This type of agreement comes with various protections, including for your rental deposit. Make sure you know what to watch out for in your rental agreement before signing it.
