Tenant guide
A clear, step-by-step guide to finding and securing a rental property through Milton Keynes Rentals.
Browse our available properties or call us to discuss what you are looking for. We will match you with suitable homes and arrange viewings at times that suit you.
Once you have found a property you like, submit an application. We will carry out referencing checks covering affordability, credit history and previous landlord references.
UK law requires us to verify your right to rent in England. You will need to provide original identity documents — we will tell you exactly what is needed.
We will send you the tenancy agreement to review and sign. Read it carefully and ask us about anything that is unclear before signing.
Your deposit (usually five weeks' rent) and first month's rent are due before move-in. Your deposit is registered in a government-approved scheme within 30 days.
We carry out a detailed check-in inventory with you, note the condition of the property and hand over the keys. You are home.
Typically proof of income (payslips or accounts), a credit check consent, and contact details for a previous landlord. We will guide you through the process.
For most tenancies the deposit is capped at five weeks' rent under the Tenant Fees Act 2019. It is held in a government-backed deposit protection scheme.
It depends on the property and landlord. Ask us when enquiring and we will check whether pets are permitted.
Report it via our online repair form at any time. We will assess the issue and coordinate the appropriate contractor as quickly as possible.
