Top tip - Make sure all deposits are transferred into a tenancy deposit protection scheme and that you receive a receipt for any rental payments. Never pay your rent or deposit in cash - it should always be an electronic or credit card payment.

You should also check the property and make sure there is a detailed inventory of all furniture and home wares, signed by both you and your landlord or agent. Record any issues that exist in the property and photograph any incidents of damage so that you are not charged for repairs when you leave.
