abstract:A letting agent is a United Kingdom term for a facilitator through which an agreement is made between a landlord and tenant for the rental of a residential property. In the UK the agreement between landlord and tenant is normally formalised by the signing of a tenancy agreement.
When asked by a lettingagent who you want as tenants, you're going to go for a working professional who's going to pay by direct debit and not someone on benefits.
South Shields lettingagent Ajay Jagota deals with about 700 landlords like David Cook in the North East, and he says many are worried about the lack of information coming from the government.
