10 key steps to renting your next home
-
Step 1: Set your budget
Review your finances and establish affordability. Read our tenant information to understand the upfront costs associated with renting. Consider if the no-deposit option suits your plans.
-
Step 2: Start your search
Visit one of our nationwide branches or contact us online to register as an active tenant. Our team lets you know when a suitable property comes on the market.
-
Step 3: Arrange your viewings
Visit the properties you like, and then revisit the area to get a feel for if it’s right for you.
-
Step 4: Secure your home
The rental market is extremely competitive, so when you’ve decided on a property, you need to act quickly.
-
Step 5: References and credit checks
If you’ve rented a property before, you’ll need to provide prospective agents with contact details for your referees, so they can start the referencing process. The letting agent will also perform credit checks.
-
Step 6: Pay your deposit
Unless you are taking up a membership of The Residency and and taking advantage of our no-deposit option, you’ll need to pay a deposit in full to secure the home. We use an independent company to secure your deposit.
-
Step 7: Sign your tenancy agreement
The tenancy agreement is a legally binding document and outlines the terms of the tenancy. You need to read this carefully before you sign.
-
Step 8: Move in
If we’re managing the property, one of our expert move managers will let you know when to collect your keys.
-
Step 9: During your tenancy
When Leaders manage the property, we visit several times a year to check everything is okay and to ask if you have any questions or concerns.
-
Step 10: Renew or vacate
When your tenancy ends, you and your landlord will have the option to renew the tenancy agreement or make arrangements to leave the property. If you decide to move on, we arrange a check-out with an independent inventory company to check and compile a report detailing the condition of the property.

Really professional and friendly service received by all the Leaders team we have worked with. Callum especially has made a very stressful situation (moving again) a lot simpler and less stressful. Thank you

myself and my partner have received excellent care and service from leaders in gosport whilst finding a property to rent. holly was excellent and really helpful from start to finish, she took the time to explain things in a way that made sense to us both as this was our first time renting. we would definitely use leaders again in the future when the time comes.

Lara was the most brilliant agent. The best we've ever met...and we've met many! She was so human and so kind and moved heaven and earth for us, she is an excellent negotiator, a professional, quick thinking Agent with real attention to detail and works really quickly and efficiently. What we loved about her was her ability to empathise with our situation and to understand our needs and to match us with the appropriate property for us. She made everything easy and understands the power of relationship and story over technology. Thank you Lara we will never forget you.
