The 'rentysomethings' putting the fizz into rental property | Money | The Guardian

Welcome to the future of renting: a place where you can find flatmates through a social networking site, broadband and Skype-enabled phones come as standard, and if the washing machine breaks down you can "email, text or tweet" the property manager.
The fairly unglamorous location of Canning Town in east London is the location of a block of private rental flats which, its developers claim, is the shape of things to come.
Around the corner from the tube station, and across the road from a branch of Cash Generators, lies the Vermillion building. After the developers failed to attract buyers through marketing in Asia, 75 of the apartments were snapped up by FizzyLiving, operating as part of the Thames Valley Housing Association. It has now brought them to the private rental market, aiming at professionals aged 25-35.

  1. Good source! One step they will take is to look at your credit score and history to see how you handle financial responsibility. Take a look at your credit record and make sure that everything is accurate.
