Guides for renting in the UK
Checklists and answers for the parts of renting that cost money when they go wrong — the viewing, the first day, the last day, and the questions in between. Every one is free, needs no account, and links out to the government or the regulator rather than restating the rules in our own voice.
Checklists
One for each point where a tenancy costs money if something is missed. Each is printable, and each links out to the government or the regulator for the rules themselves.

Look something up
For the question that comes up once and needs an answer you can trust, with the source it came from.
