Rent
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, letting agents and landlords in England can only charge tenants specific, permitted fees.
The short answer
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, tenants can only be charged permitted payments: rent, a refundable deposit, and a small set of specific charges. Everything we may ask you to pay is listed on this page, and nothing else will ever be added.
As agreed in your tenancy agreement.
Capped at 5 weeks' rent (or 6 weeks if the annual rent is £50,000 or more), protected in a government-approved scheme.
Capped at 1 week's rent, to reserve a property while referencing is completed.
A payment capped at the landlord's reasonably incurred loss, if you end your tenancy early.
Utilities, communication services and Council Tax, where these are your responsibility under the tenancy.
Capped, evidenced charges for late rent payment or a lost key/security device.
