Your Voice Matters: Help Us Map Cheltenham's Rental Landscape!

Calling all Cheltenham Tenants! The Cheltenham Tenant Union is reigniting a vital initiative to empower you and improve the local rental market. We're asking for your help to update and populate the Marks Out Of Tenancy website with your landlord, letting agent, and neighborhood experiences.

You might remember Marks Out Of Tenancy as a useful tool for sharing insights into your rental journey. While there have been some reviews for Cheltenham in the past, it's been a few years since the local data was significantly updated. Now, we want to give it a real push, and your contribution is absolutely crucial!

Why Your Review Makes a Difference:

  • Informing Our Actions: The data gathered from your reviews will be invaluable for the Cheltenham Tenant Union. It will help us understand the prevalent issues, identify common challenges with particular landlords or letting agents, and ultimately inform our advocacy efforts to improve rental conditions across the town.
  • Shedding Light on Letting Agents: We are particularly keen to gather data on your experiences with letting agencies in Cheltenham. Unlike councils who may not publicly publish data on letting agent performance, Marks Out Of Tenancy offers a direct way for your voice to be heard. This collective insight is incredibly difficult to gather otherwise, and your contributions can expose patterns and help hold agencies accountable.
  • Empowering Fellow Tenants: Imagine being able to check out a landlord or letting agent before you sign a tenancy agreement! By sharing your honest experiences, you're providing vital information to other prospective tenants, helping them make informed decisions and avoid potential pitfalls. This shared knowledge fosters a stronger, more informed tenant community.
  • A Public Resource: The more reviews we have, the more useful this website becomes for everyone. It creates a transparent, community-driven resource that benefits current and future renters in Cheltenham.

How You Can Help:

It's simple and only takes a few minutes. Visit the Cheltenham section of the Marks Out Of Tenancy website:
