For landlords

Let your property for a fixed £500. No VAT to add. No management tie in.

Marketing, accompanied viewings, applications, referencing and tenancy setup. You approve the tenant. You hold the rent and the deposit.

Fixed fee whatever the rent

£500 for Tenant Find, no VAT to add. The fee does not rise with the rent, so a higher rent does not cost you more.

You approve every applicant in your portal

Referenced applicants appear in your landlord portal with viewing feedback. You approve or decline from your phone.

No ongoing management commitment

Tenant Find ends at tenancy start and the property hands back to you. No notice period and no renewal fee.

The 30 day promise

If we have not produced a referenced applicant within 30 days of your property going live, the first £250 is refunded in full, or carried forward to a future instruction if you prefer. Your choice.

Where we advertise your property

  • KeyMoment social channels, including Facebook and LinkedIn
  • Local Facebook property and community groups where permitted
  • Direct contact with applicants already registered with us for the area

Rightmove and Zoopla listings are not currently included. KeyMoment does not list on the major portals, so a property advertised with us is not shown on Rightmove or Zoopla. Instead your property is marketed through the channels listed above, and the fee stays a flat £500 with no portal surcharge.

KeyMoment does not currently list on Rightmove or Zoopla. Properties are marketed direct through the KeyMoment site, our registered applicant alerts list, and social channels. This is why the fee is a flat £500 with no portal surcharge.

KeyMoment does not hold rent, deposits or any other client money. Rent and the tenancy deposit are paid directly to you. Because we hold no client money, Client Money Protection scheme membership is not required. We provide a deposit protection checklist and confirm the steps have been completed.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Free rental appraisal

    We review the property, the local market and realistic rent, with no charge and no obligation.

  2. Step 2

    Instruction and written terms

    You receive written Terms of Business setting out scope, fees and cancellation rights before anything is payable.

  3. Step 3

    Marketing and accompanied viewings

    Photography, listing and direct marketing to our applicant alerts list, then accompanied viewing sessions arranged around demand.

  4. Step 4

    Applicants presented in your portal

    Referenced applicants, viewing feedback and supporting documents appear in your portal for your decision.

  5. Step 5

    Tenancy setup and handover

    We complete the agreed tenancy setup, then hand the property back to you for ongoing management.

Landlord questions

You are never obliged to accept an applicant. If you decline every applicant we present, we continue marketing at no further cost until the agreed marketing period ends. Applicants are assessed against the same objective criteria, which are set out in our Applicant Selection Policy.

We resume marketing at no further cost and reference the next applicant at our expense. The second £250 is payable only when a tenancy is actually signed.

No. Tenant Find ends at tenancy start and the property hands back to you. There is no notice period, no renewal fee and no obligation to use KeyMoment again.

You do, in your own name. The deposit is paid directly to you and must be protected in a government approved scheme within 30 days, with prescribed information served to the tenant. If that is not done, you can be ordered to pay the tenant up to three times the deposit and your ability to serve certain notices can be restricted. We provide a checklist and confirm each step has been completed, but the legal duty stays with you.

No. KeyMoment charges tenants and applicants nothing — no administration, viewing, application, referencing or check-in fees. Only payments permitted by the Tenant Fees Act 2019 can ever arise, and those are paid to the landlord, not to us.

Read our Applicant Selection Policy for the criteria every applicant is assessed against.
