Renting guide
Like buying your first car, renting a property can be a stressful activity, particularly if you don’t go into it armed with the right information. With so many questions and factors to take into account, such as the size of rooms, number of bedrooms, quality of fixtures and who you’re going to live with, we know it can be a minefield even for the most experienced of contract-holders.
Most people don’t move home very often, so the thought of doing it can be a daunting and novel experience – but it needn’t be. We've prepared a step-by-step guide to renting in order to answer as many questions as possible and help you be as prepared as possible for the exciting process ahead of you.
Contract-holder like manner
Though your landlord has a lot of responsibilities during your tenancy, contract-holders also have an obligation to look after and carry out the little jobs around the property. Just as if you were the homeowner, minor maintenance like changing light bulbs and attempting to unblock drains or toilets are responsibilities of the contract-holder. It's called acting in a 'Contract-holder-Like Manner' and is part of the legal responsibilities of being a contract-holder.
It’s worth giving our guide a quick once-over before reporting any maintenance issues as the answer to the issue(s) you’re experiencing may well be there.

"Booking a viewing was really easy with CPS. They were really helpful in helping us find an apartment and the agent who showed us round was very friendly and answered any questions we had. Really good experience!"

"CPS were so helpful especially as we were all very nervous when it came to renting a house for the first time. They recommended a great range of houses with a range of prices in our budget and a few outside of it to allow us to compare. They were so friendly and welcoming in both the Albany and Woodville branch and made us feel more confident when buying the house and helped with any problems and concerns we had. I would definitely recommend to a friend!"

Luke Richards
"I have dealt with CPS Homes for over 2 years and have found them very professional in their approach to both landlords and tenants. They have provided a fast, friendly, reliable and honest service. I am impressed that all staff members have full knowledge of my tenancy details and follow-up queries in good time. Any requests/instructions I make are always carried out to my satisfaction. Having dealt with other letting agencies in Cardiff I would rate CPS as one of the best. I am confident that I will continue using their excellent services for a long time in the foreseeable future. "

"An excellent customer service. Friendy and polite staff. They did all they could to help us and find a place that would meet our needs. The viewings were carried out in a professional way and the agents were very open to answering any question or doubt about the property. The following process was straightforward and simple. CPS staff definitely looked after us, and were available at all times. So, a big thank you."
