Josh Ling @ Adopt Me!

I am a sensible man renting a place on his own for the first time. before I go ahead and do that, what kind of things do I need to do/know? I know I need to inform the council, do I need to get utilities sorted in advance? How do you make internet happen? Thanks

the house will have utilities already, you can review and change them if you want - might be a cheaper providers you need internet, you can call a provider and tell them the move in date now PLEASE get home contents insurance. I use first direct (my bank) its good + cheap

when you move in they'll usually do an inventory, but if not take a bunch of pictures on Day 1 especially of stuff that is broken. take them on phone and throw them on drive or whatever, these can be used to get your security deposit back if your landlord lies about damages
