Given how much landlords love getting paid upfront, you could use our product to counter-offer £2,000 per month with 6 months paid upfront. After our 4% fee, you come out £120 per month better off for having used Scraye Flexible Rents.

Each tenancy is unique. Our terms may differ depending on where you are in your tenancy and the risk of termination. If a tenancy break clause is activated during a period of rent paid upfront, we would ask you to refund Scraye for the rent paid for the period after you vacate the property. Depending on the tenancy agreement, you would likely recover this rental payment from the landlord.
