Flats to rent in Cardiff, Cardiff Property and Accommodation
To find flats to rent in Cardiff and make your property search as smooth as possible it is important
you understand the different types of accommodation in Cardiff.
Typically Cardiff accommodation, for stays of over six months is on
an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, which gives the tenant a
right of occupation of the accommodation for an agreed fixed term.
Whilst by law, this can be less than six months for both investment
purposes, and legal technicalities CPS Homes do not grant AST’s for
less than six months.
Securing a tenancy
Also, a common way of securing a tenancy for accommodation in
Cardiff is through a Company Let, which differs from above as the
contract is between the landlord and a company, rather than a
private individual. This also differs from above as the contract is
not covered by the Housing Act. This contract is typically used when
a company is securing accommodation for an employee, and it gives
the company the option to move different employees in and out of the
accommodation without changing the contract.
If you are looking for accommodation or
flats to rent in Cardiff for less than six
months, CPS Homes class this as short term lettings. This is not
something we specialise in but are sometimes able to accommodate
requests, or recommend a company specific to your accommodation
needs.
Contacting CPS Homes
When you contact CPS Homes looking for accommodation, we will take a
few details including whether you are a student or professional.
Whilst the accommodation we show does not vary between professionals
and students, the process we use to reference you for the
accommodation does vary. If you are a professional moving into any
of our accommodation in Cardiff, then we will require information
such as your employer details, to verify your pay and your last
landlord details. This may be done through our internal referencing
system or through an external company.
If you are looking for
flats to rent in Cardiff as student accommodation in Cardiff then we will
require a guarantor, which needs to be a UK home owner, aged over 25
years old. Most landlords will accept both professional and students
for their accommodation but some more executive properties may
specify professionals only.
