pugsy Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 First off, i'm not a landlord in your area and cannot help directly BUT from a private landlords perspective, most would only really take you on under these circumstances, if you could pay the full 6 months up front, plus a security deposit. Too many landlords have been stung for payment in month 2 of a 6 month contract and unable to evict until many months have passed, so it is understandable really. Don't panic, save, save, save and you will get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I am a Landlord (not in your required area) and am considering this http://www.iguarantee.co.uk/index.htm which may help you get round your deposit dilema. You (or your partner) will just need good credit references - not a guarantor and if so, this could be a good long term bet for many who struggle to come up with the deposit but are otherwise good tenants. I wouldn't blame any landlord using this method for insisting on an up-front payment for an end of tenancy professional clean, which is the way I intend to go. At least that is much less than an adequate deposit to cover damage as well. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
