When you are renting a home or an apartment you are likely to deal directly with the landlord, a leasing company or an individual acting on behalf of the landlord. More often than not, you will be guided through the rental process by a letting agent. This includes finding tenants, screening them, following up on references, preparing the rental contracts and collecting the rent.
There are certain qualities, which are required for a letting agent to be effective and successful. Some good characteristics he or she should possess include integrity, professionalism, knowledge about as well as experience in the letting process and customer service skills. The duties of the letting agent are many and varied and there are different levels of services, which he or she usually performs. The services range from letting alone to full management, however, most agents carry out at least two of the major ones. If the agent is doing only letting, it will involve showing the prospective tenant the rental property, checking credit and other references, handling rental agreement, collecting the deposit and initial rent, distributing the keys and liaising with the tenant and landlord.
Another level, which may be added is collecting the rent monthly and lodging it to the landlord’s account. Some letting agents may also be involved in managing the property, which includes at least bi-annual inspections, repair and maintenance management and providing access to outside contractors. A letting agent may also help with marketing the rental property.
If you are renting a property, there are some benefits to using a letting agent instead of dealing directly with the landlord. These include the legal knowledge, which the agent possesses regarding the paperwork and the required standard of the property to meet government regulations. In addition, you may receive a quicker response to maintenance problems since the agency will have insurance coverage to fix them promptly. Another advantage is the letting agency will usually pay for the maintenance work instead of the tenant having to pay for it. Payment of your rent may also be easier and more convenient since you may be able to use online methods and other special payment arrangements.

Can a landlord in South Carolina evict a tenant if she has not gotten any money from a real estate agent in more than 3 years?
If the tenant is following the instructions given on a lease, or is following any written instructions on how, where, and when to pay the rent, and is doing so on a timely basis, then there is no reason the landlord can evict them. If the landlord has contracted a real estate agent to collect the rent on their behalf, and the tenant is paying the real estate agent in accordance to the instructions on the lease, then the tenant is not responsible for any rent the real estate agent has not paid the landlord. Otherwise, the basic rule is that the tenant must pay the landlord the rent every month, and is responsible to see that the landlord is paid in accordance to the terms on the lease.
