OT Renting Out a Flat
Due to a change in circumstances I am considering renting out my flat,
which is in a purpose built block in a good rental area. I have to pay a quarterly service charge, council tax, etc and it would be rented furnished (unless there's a good reason to rent it unfurnished). Regarding things like service charge & council tax. Is the tennant responsible for paying them or should I build them in to the rental price and pay them myself? I'm concerned about what would happen if the tennants didn't pay. Obviously I would like reliable, hassle-free tennants and for everything to work well in the flat so I would have as little involvement as possible. I wouldn't have much time to work on repairs, chase late rent, etc. Would you recommend getting a lawyer to write an official rental contract or just do it on a handshake & deposit and should I hand it over to an agency or do it myself? Thank you. |
