New renting rules to come in, how will it work if you usually pay rent in advance to get a place

with the whole they’re not allowing multiple months of rent to be paid up front soon, how will it work to get a new rental property for those that usually put months of cash down upfront instead of paying via a monthly salary?!

You still can BUT Agents/Landlords cannot ask for it
It may make some wary about taking it as they have to show very clearly the suggestion did not come from them
The other option is to get a Guarantor or Insurance - there are quite a few policies that are starting to be offered and these will probably increase from May
