R1C6kktipEogM
Drag and drop the collocations into the correct places in the sentences. 1. If you rent a flat for the first time, it’s safer to ask a 1. letting agency, 2. approved landlords, 3. council tax, 4. Household bills, 5. tenancy agreement for help. This institution will deal with all the paperwork for you.
2. As a full-time student you will not have to pay 1. letting agency, 2. approved landlords, 3. council tax, 4. Household bills, 5. tenancy agreement which all other residents in the UK have to pay.
3. When renting a flat, make sure you read and understand all the terms and conditions in your 1. letting agency, 2. approved landlords, 3. council tax, 4. Household bills, 5. tenancy agreement as once you sign it, it becomes a legally binding document.
4. Check if the person you rent from is on the list of 1. letting agency, 2. approved landlords, 3. council tax, 4. Household bills, 5. tenancy agreement as that is your guarantee that they run their business according to the law.
5. 1. letting agency, 2. approved landlords, 3. council tax, 4. Household bills, 5. tenancy agreement are not always included in the rent and it may turn out that the cost of water, gas, and wi-fi will increase your monthly costs.
