TenantsTips is a website that provides independent information and advice for tenants who currently rent or people who are looking to rent houses, flats, and other residential property.
We are becoming one of the largest online information sources for tenants and would-be tenants because we concentrate on their needs which we feel are greatly neglected on the web.
Our goal is to address the needs of the tenant and to help ensure they don't fall foul of bad landlord and agency practices. We cover everything from housing benefit, Tenancy Deposits, Letting Agents and the various Property, Landlord and Tenant Acts. We also have a tenants forum where people can discuss issues and pages where you can search for properties to rent.
