Rent-to-Rent Basics

An introduction to rent-to-rent — how it works, what to look for, and how it fits into a broader property strategy.

Rent-to-rent (R2R) is a strategy where you rent a property from a landlord and then let it out — often at a higher income — by improving how the property is used or managed.

How rent-to-rent works

  1. You agree terms with a landlord to rent their property (often on a longer lease).
  2. You take responsibility for managing and letting the property.
  3. You generate income from tenants — for example through a single let, HMO, or serviced accommodation.
  4. The difference between what you pay the landlord and what you receive from tenants is your margin.
