How do you pay rent in London?

In order to pay rent in London, you have a couple of different options. Rents are usually offered on a weekly (ppw) and monthly (pcm) basis. You need to know that monthly rents are not the same as the total of 4 weeks of rent. Weekly rent and monthly rent are calculated in a different way. Another thing is, in most cases, you will need to pay a security or tenancy deposit upfront along with the monthly rent. This security or tenancy deposit fee would be an amount of four to six weeks of rent. This fee is refundable unless you make any kind of damage to the property. And you also need to know about the utility bills to ensure a good deal. Utility bills include water, electricity, gas, broadband etc. You might find some tenants offer the rent with utility bills included and some do not. So, while checking the total rent, it is better to double check if the utility bills are included or not. If included, it is a good deal for you as you will have to pay a fixed amount every month. Otherwise, the bills might fluctuate from month to month. And if your budget is quite limited take a look at the rooms for rent in London !
