Hi everyone, I’m Harry Tylor, part of the team at Umega Lettings & Estate Agents here in Edinburgh. After working with hundreds of tenants, I’ve heard so many stories—some great, some not-so-great—about what people didn’t expect when they first started renting. So I thought I’d start this thread as a space to share those lessons learned the hard way. What surprised you about your first rental? What do you wish someone had told you earlier? From hidden costs to things to check during viewings, let’s put our heads together and help the next person avoid a headache.
