I was passing one of the local estate agents on the way to work and noticed that they are offering would-be tenants one month rent-free. It would probably be a good idea to discuss what other incentives letting agents and landlords use to attract their tenants. What works, what doesnt?

Some letting agencies dealing with students, offer the whole summer period rent-free.

Friends of mine moved to another house last summer. Their letting agency knocked 20% off rent for the first 3 months 'to help them to move in and settle. Not as generous (or desperate
 ) as one month rent-free, but still an incentive.

What a coincidence! I was talking to a chap on the phone about smth else and he was telling me that he moved into a 2 bed-room house couple of weeks ago. He paid deposit and first month rent, but his landlord gave him £100 back. Small good-will gesture, but the chap was over the moon thinking he landed himself the best landlord ever!
