FAQs

This is the period of time which you've agreed to be a tenant of the property. The first date is the date you can move into the property, the last date is the last date you can move out of the property. This period of time cannot be changed once the tenancy agreement has been signed and returned. If you do not use the property for a period of time (for example, going to another address during the holidays or leaving earlier than the tenancy end date), you will still need to pay all of the rent that you've agreed to within the tenancy agreement.
