The number of houses available for rent fell for the second month in a row, providing hope for landlords that the market for rentals could be stabilising.

However, the number of flats available increased for the sixth consecutive month, according to research from FindaProperty.com.

There are now more than twice as many flats available to rent compared with a year ago.

Stand out from the crowd

With so many properties on the market, landlords will need to work hard to entice tenants.

The Which? Guide to Renting and Letting offers tips on everything from setting the rent to preparing a property for a viewing.

Finding a bargain

With average rents falling for over a year, there are bargains to be had, but tenants still need to be aware of their rights, so make sure your deposit is protected by a tenancy deposit protection scheme.

See our free guide to renting and letting for tips on finding rental bargains online and what to look for when viewing a rental property.
