If you’re thinking about placing your home on the market, prospective buyers will need to see that your home is safe and secure. As burglaries tend to spike seasonally – namely in the summer holidays while many homes are vacated for weeks at a time – it's crucial to take the necessary steps to ensure your property is protected from break-ins.

When you let a property with another person, you may wonder how this affects your rights as an individual tenant. Are you liable for any unpaid rent from your housemate? Do you pay individual deposits or one lump sum?
