Tenants can live rent free over Christmas with the No Rent Event

Darlows is offering tenants the opportunity to live rent free at the outset of their tenancy to save some extra money over the costly festive period.

The ‘No Rent Event’ is a special offer that takes place over Christmas and New Year; tenants involved in the initiative will be offered a wide range of properties to choose from.

As always if you’re unsure about which property is better suited to you, get in touch with your local property experts who can guide you in the right direction.
