Property To Rent In Manchester

By law, a tenancy deposit can’t be more than five weeks’ rent where the annual rent is under £50,000, or six weeks’ rent above that. Your deposit is protected with the government-approved Deposit Protection Service. A holding deposit to reserve a property is capped at one week’s rent.

You’ll pay your first month’s rent once you’ve signed the tenancy agreement and before you move in. After that, rent is paid on the agreed date each month, and we will never ask for more than one month in advance.

No. We don’t charge tenants for referencing, admin or contracts. The only payments you’ll make are your rent, your deposit and any holding deposit. The exception is a small number of charges allowed by law, such as replacing lost keys or late rent.

Since 1 May 2026, new tenancies in England are periodic. That means they roll on month to month with no fixed end date, so you can stay for as long as the home suits you.

Yes. You can end your tenancy at any time by giving two months’ notice in writing.

You have the right to ask to keep a pet, and landlords can’t unreasonably refuse. Make your request in writing, and you’ll get a written answer within 28 days. Tell us about any pets when you register so we can focus on homes that suit you.

Usually not. Most tenants pay their own council tax, energy, water and broadband. Where any bills are included, the listing will say so.

Referencing usually takes a few working days once we have everything we need. After that, your move-in date depends on when the property is available, and we’ll agree it with you up front.
