Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any charges at all?
No, we do not charge landlords or tenants for our service, it is completely free. There are no hidden charges, no admin costs and no commission fees.
How can it be Free?
The Landlord Link Lettings (which is part of The Landlord Link) is a privately funded company. We generate revenue through our advertisers and sponsors. As a result, we are able to reinvest this revenue in order to provide and improve our free service. It is our belief that landlords and tenants should not have to pay upfront fees or agents commission in order to let/rent property online.

**Guidance for Landlords**
Rentals in Scotland - If you are advertising property for rent in Scotland you are legally required to state your Landlord Registration Number on your listing. 'Right to Rent' - All private landlords in England must carry out 'right to rent' checks before renting out property to check whether new tenants have the right to live in the UK legally. The checks are quick and easy plus you avoid risking penalties of up to £3000. For more information you can use https://www.gov.uk/check-tenant-right-to- rent-documents/who-to-check to guide you through the checks.
