If you are seeking accommodation it is advisable to consider your options.
Privately renting is a popular option, generally quite quick to obtain and offers a variety of choice.
There are a number of ways to source a privately rented property:
Look in local papers
Look in shop windows
Visit agencies, e.g. rental agents, accommodation agents, estate agents
Through word of mouth
Bidding on suitable, advertised private properties through Daventry HomeChoice
If you are considering privately renting you should make appropriate arrangements to ensure:
that you can pay a deposit - expect this to be a minimum of one months rent
that you can pay the first months rent in advance
that you are able to afford the monthly rent
that you can afford your utility bills
If you are not in work or on a low income you may be able to get some help to cover your rental payments. Payment of housing benefit will depend on your family make-up in accordance with the local housing allowance. It is very important if you qualify for benefits to check that a privately rented property is affordable. For a single person up to the age of 35, you will only be entitled to the value of a room rent.
