Sounds dodgy already - have you spoken to them? Hopefully just an oversight. I assume they’ve paid the deposit. ---

you mean you never asked for a deposit and a months rent in advance BEFORE you signed and handed over the keys??? ---

sorry I meant to say not recieved from Openrent, tenants have transferred on time before key handover. Wanted to ask anyone if else had any issues with OpenRent transferring money into bank account? ---

There is a delay before OpenRent transfers the 1st months payment. It is to ensure the property and landlord are legit. I can’t remember how long it took for us but it was at least a week or two. Message them directly. ---

Good news. Was there a problem or just the normal holding period that Open Rent advise you of ? ---
