Finding a property
A good place to start is to look in the local newspaper or shop windows for adverts. Ask friends and family if they know of any private landlords or properties.
You could sign up with a letting agent. A letting agent may require both a holding fee and a deposit. A holding fee can be up to one weeks rent and is usually paid one month in advance. A deposit can be up to five weeks rent.
