How to Get Paid Even if Your Property is Empty
Below is an overview of our range of services – from the simplicity of our Tenant Find service to the rock-solid security of our RentSure Pro service. We’ll explore the benefits of each, to help you decide which one may be right for you.
RentSure Pro: Rent Guarantee Service
Whenever we talk to landlords, they always tell us their two biggest problems are budgeting for periods when their property is empty and the fear of non-paying tenants. This is why we introduced our new RentSure Pro Rent Guarantee service.
Will you have enough in your bank account to pay your mortgage if your tenant stops paying rent?
Good letting agents will do all they can to find a quality tenant but circumstances change and your tenant may stop paying. You will be left to pay the mortgage with your own means and you may even have to foot solicitor and court bills to have the tenant evicted.
Will you have enough to cover the gaps between tenancies?
RentSure Lettingg Agents have extensive market coverage that makes sure your property gets let in the quickest possible time. However, voids between tenancies are getting longer due to the current oversupply of properties on the market.
You get peace of mind
Our new RentSure Pro Rent Guarantee service solves both of these problems. Based on the location, condition and type of your property, we will agree an amount of rent that will be paid for the year. Your rent then gets paid each month whether the tenant is paying or not and even if the property is empty. Guaranteed. Of course, we can only offer a service such as this for selected properties but for those that qualify, the benefits are clear.
You can plan your budget with certainty
You will know exactly how much will be in your account each and every month. If your property is empty, your rent gets paid. If your tenant stops paying, your rent gets paid.
Court action is paid for
Should your tenant break the terms of the lease and need to be evicted, we will foot your solicitor bill.
You can relax and let us do the legwork
We’ll do all the accompanied viewings, vet the tenants and prepare all the paperwork and legal documentation. We are well versed in dealing with problems that arise during tenancies and have all the resources to resolve them.
No Fees
There are no fees or commission with RentSure Pro, keeping your costs to a minimum.

RentSure Premium: Full Management Service
If you are looking for a complete, safe, hands-off management service for your property then the RentSure Premium service is for you.
You get all the benefits of the RentSure Standard Tenant Find service plus, once the tenant has signed their lease, we will do everything for you including:
- Prepare a full inventory and condition report – including digital photographs – reducing the change of disputes when your tenant leaves
- Manage all repairs and maintenance, saving you the headache of dealing with tradesmen
- Schedule and arrange all safety checks, saving you the hassle of remembering when they are due
- Collect rent and pay it into your bank account as soon as we receive it, reducing the chance of incurring charges when your mortgage payment comes out
- Save you time and hassle by pursuing unpaid rent and managing arrears, instructing debt collection agents where necessary
- If a tenant breaks the terms of their lease and needs to be evicted we will Issue Notice to Quit, Section 33 and AT6 documents and instruct a solicitor (solicitor fees will be the landlord’s responsibility)
- Schedule and negotiate rent increases, where appropriate
- Perform periodic inspections, so that you are safe in the knowledge that your property is being kept a satisfactory standard
- Check the tenant out of the property, check the inventory and manage the return of their deposit.

RentSure Basic: Tenant Find Service
If you are confident that you have the time and skill to manage your property yourself, then we can find a tenant for you, set up the tenancy and then hand everything over to you. Remember, if you are considering self managing, check with your lender to make sure that they allow this.
- Your property will get the best market exposure in the business, meaning that you’ll have the largest pool of quality tenants to choose from:
- Marketing on up to 50 internet sites including S1homes, GSPC, Gumtree, CityLets, LettingWeb, FindAProperty, PropertyFinder and, of course, rentsureletting.com
- To-let board and window posters
- Display in our high-profile office window
- Marketed to our existing client bank via email, SMS text message and telephone
- Promoted by Bluetooth. (What this means is that people passing nearby our office will receive a message on their Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone or PDA.)
- You won’t miss out on quality professional tenants who cannot view during office hours, with our fully accompanied evening and weekend viewing service. (We do daytime viewings too, of course!)
- You can be secure in the knowledge that your tenant has been thoroughly vetted using our stringent credit checking and referencing procedure
- You save time by letting us set up the tenancy and all associated documentation. With our tried and tested lease you’ll be protected against most eventualities a tenancy can throw at you.
- The lease will not be signed until we collect the first month’s rent and the deposit. To make things easy for you, we will subtract any fees and pay these out to you, as soon as they hit our account
- You avoid the hassle of additional admin as we will contact the utility companies and local council, on your behalf, to move all the accounts into your tenant’s name
Once we’ve done the initial work, management responsibility passes over to the landlord. You will need to collect future rent and the tenant will contact you directly with any problems, so you need to be sure that you have the time and resources to deal with this.
When the tenant leaves, you will be responsible for checking the inventory and for the return of the tenant’s deposit.
