Can I pay my rent in advance?

Our usual arrangement is monthly rent paid in advance. We do not require large advance payments or use them as a substitute for meeting our affordability requirements.

For apartments in England

We cannot request or accept rent before both parties sign the tenancy agreement. During the period after signing but before move-in, we can normally ask for no more than one month’s rent in advance.

For Docklands Living in Dublin

Irish law limits the advance rent we can require to one month. The security deposit is separately capped at one month’s rent.

If you want to make an extra payment after your tenancy starts, ask first so we can confirm whether it is allowed & how it would be allocated. Please do not send several months’ rent without agreement.

Your tenancy documents will set out the rent amount & normal due date. Our standard income affordability requirement remains a combined household income of at least 2.5 times the annual rent, regardless of your willingness to pay ahead.
