Deposits, rent in advance, admin fees and guarantors

Most landlords will require one, if not all, of the above, before you are able to secure a tenancy.

If you are on a low income, some agents and landlords may ask that someone acts as a guarantor for you. This is someone who either owns their own house, or earns enough money to cover the rent.
