Letting agents act on behalf of landlords to find tenants for residential properties and arrange the start of a tenancy. Their services commonly include advising on advertising, preparing property listings, organising viewings, handling applications and carrying out tenant referencing. They may prepare tenancy agreements, arrange inventories and check-in reports, and help ensure that deposits are registered with an authorised tenancy deposit protection scheme. Some agents provide ongoing property management, collecting rent, communicating with tenants and arranging repairs or maintenance. They may also conduct inspections, manage tenancy renewals and deal with notices when a tenancy ends. The scope of service varies: some agents only find tenants, while others manage the property throughout the tenancy. In England, letting agents handling client money must belong to an approved client money protection scheme, and agents must belong to a government-approved redress scheme.
