There is a new clause I noticed recently on a tenant change; Carpets must be PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED ANNUALLY. I'd be looking at this one @Welsh Farmer

If you can, go and see a prospective tenant in the home that they are currently living in. You will soon find out if you want them as a tenant or not. The same applies to a prospective employee who would be living in your cottage.
