In short: Maidstone, Kent's county town, offers more space for the money than London, with family houses in areas such as Allington, Bearsted, Loose and the town centre. Several stations give rail links to London. Private landlords advertise on the main portals, direct-let sites and with local agents. The Renters' Rights Act protections apply: periodic tenancies, a maximum of one month's rent in advance, and no blanket bans on benefits or children. Fraser Bond is London-based; this guide helps you search locally.
