Can I pay more than one months rent in advance?

*** Effective 1st May 2026, under the Renters’ Rights Act the maximum rent a landlord or agent can legally require in advance is capped at one month’s rent ***

Yes – under the terms of our Tenancy Agreements, rent is always paid in advance – typically monthly for the next rental month. Tenants can at their discretion pay more that one months rent in advance.

Where a tenant has a low credit score or fails the affordability assessment, it may be a pre-condition of granting a tenancy that the tenant pays rent in advance for the entire fixed term of the tenancy e.g 6 months.
