Before you pay anything
- Visit the flat and meet the owner in person.
- Ask whether maintenance, parking and society charges are on top of the rent.
- Check the society's rules for tenants, such as family-only or bachelor policies.
- Read the rent agreement and get a receipt for the deposit.
- Never pay a token amount before you have seen the flat.
