Connect with us on Facebook or YouTube to keep up to date with the latest Live DifRent news, inspiration, ideas and events.
You’re in, you’re settled and you’re happy. Good news! Here are things to remember whilst you’re a tenant.
All maintenance requests can be reported 24/7 through the FixFlo app. We also have a series of handy how-to videos for the most common household problems!
If you need a bigger house, a smaller garden, a ground floor apartment or just fancy a change, just get in touch with us and we’ll see what’s available to better suit your needs.
We’re so pleased to have such great residents taking care of our properties. To make sure that your home continues to be safe and at the high standard we both expect, our qualified team will come around every 6 months to undertake a Property Health Check.
This is just to ensure that there’s been no damage or faults anywhere, helping us to keep your home ship-shape and help you get your full deposit back when you move out. You don’t have to be around for the visit, but if you would like to attend please let us know. We’ll give you at least 24 hours’ notice and will do our best to limit any disruption or inconvenience.
You love your home, your area, your neighbours but something’s missing..? If you decide you would like to get a furry friend to join you in your home, please get in touch with us before adopting!
We have allowances for pets on all of our developments, but all animals need to be applied for. To avoid disappointment or breach of contract, make sure you give the team a call first and complete any necessary paperwork so every new addition can move in happy. Check out our full Pet Policy for more info.
If you like the DifRent way of living, but fancy a change, then let us know and we can help you move to a different property type at one of our developments.
We are passionate about the environment, the homes we provide and the communities around us.
Whether you are focused on saving water, reducing energy, recycling and minimizing your waste, or generally living a more sustainable lifestyle then we are here to help.

When next in your fridge/freezer, set the temperature correctly; 4 C for the fridge and -15 C for the freezers to ensure minimal energy use
Take short showers – try to keep it under 4 minutes. Use a shower timer to help reduce water and energy usage
Invest in duvets with higher tog rating during autumn and winter- preferably a 12.5 / 13.5 rating to keep you warm
Remember to use a lower-temperature washing cycle instead of a hot wash to help save energy
Turn down radiator valves in unoccupied rooms or rarely in use
Remember to layer up properly during winter to keep warm and avoid the need to turn on the heating
Remind each other when phones are fully charged to unplug them
Remember to always switch off the video game after playing and turn off the TV
Encourage the family to get outside for a walk or pick up a book to read, rather than watch TV
Avoid frequently opening the fridge and browsing for food with the door open for a long time
We hope you’re loving your DifRent home – if you have a friend, family member, colleague or acquaintance who could benefit from a change of scene and a new experience of renting, then make sure you refer them to us!

We hate saying goodbye, but if you decide to move on make sure you get in touch with us in line with your notice period in your tenancy agreement.
