3.0 out of 5 stars A great idea with a few missing pieces., 6 Aug 2002
By A Customer
Tenant's Survival Guide is divided into 16 chapters, covering the rental process from fair valuations to what to do when you're ready to leave. There's also some letters you could use to deal with problems such as returning your deposit.

I bought this book as I'm about to start renting my first house, and since nobody in my family has ever rented before, I needed a source of advice which was user friendly and readable.

This book was useful to me - it opened my eyes to all the charges you'll get when you start renting, and there are a lot of them that you'd never expect. Things like inventories, references and credit checks will all be charged for, and it's not cheap. There are also examples of situations that the author has found tenants in, and ways she recommends to resolve them. By reading this book, I also picked up on a lot of the vocabulary that the estate agent used, which was helpful.

My criticism of this book is that sometimes, it will shoot off into quite complicated language - this is not a book you can just skim through. Stupidly obvious things like how to approach a letting agent are missing. Visiting the agent for the first time was nerve wracking experience and a little advice on what to say and what to avoid would be more helpful.

The letting market is becoming more popular these days, and it's a good idea to own such a book if you intend to get involved in it, to check on your rights if nothing else.
