Rushden and Northamptonshire · Contractors and relocations

A licence to occupy,
not a tenancy.

That distinction decides what protections you have, and most short-stay providers leave you to find out later. We set the terms and the notice period out in writing before you book.

How we work

A licence, not a tenancy — and why that matters

Rabah Consultancy Ltd is a private limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 14395728, incorporated in October 2022, with its registered office at 1 Regency Court, Rushden NN10 6EY. The company's filed activities cover both other accommodation and information technology services.

Short-stay serviced accommodation is granted as a licence to occupy rather than an assured shorthold tenancy, and the protections are genuinely different: the deposit protection rules and the statutory notice and court process for possession attach to tenancies, not licences. We set the terms and the notice period on both sides out in writing before a booking is confirmed, rather than leaving you to discover the distinction later. Properties are kept to current gas, electrical and fire safety standards and the certificates are available on request. We are not a letting agent and give no legal advice on occupancy rights.

Frequently asked

The questions we get most

Is this a tenancy?

No. A short stay is a licence to occupy, which does not carry the statutory protections that attach to an assured shorthold tenancy — including deposit protection and the court process for possession. We explain that before you book, in writing.

Can I see the gas safety certificate?

Yes, and you should ask any provider for it. Ours is current and we hand it over along with the electrical condition report and, where relevant, the fire risk assessment.

What if my completion date moves?

Then we extend the booking. Dates slipping is the normal case rather than the exception, and taking short bookings that can be extended is the whole reason this kind of accommodation exists.

Are bills included?

Yes — bills, wifi and council tax are in the rate. Working away is expensive enough without a utility bill arriving after you have gone home.

Do you handle other landlords' properties?

No. We are not a letting agent and do not manage property belonging to others for compensation, which in England requires different arrangements.

Why does a company called Consultancy do accommodation?

Because it does both. The company's filed activities cover accommodation and IT services, and the two strands are quoted separately.

Need somewhere at short notice?

Tell us your dates. We will set the terms out in writing before anything is confirmed.
