If renting a house or flat in England for the games think about the following:

• Are you renting through a reputable estate agent or going direct to the owner?
• Does the person renting you the property own it?
• Has he sent you a lease to sign? Do you understand what you are agreeing to?
• Are you sure about exactly what you are getting? Is the address specified and size of property?
• Are there any extra charges you may have to pay which are not clear in the lease for say cleaning, electricity or other services?
• What happens to your deposit at the end of the holiday letting? Can landlord keep it if he thinks property damaged in any way?
• How do you get your deposit back if there is a problem and you do not get the property?
