I am moving for a new job in Cambridge and so excited to move here! But, I am having troubles finding a place to live. I’m keeping an eye on the market and am ringing up to arrange viewings as soon as a place is put up but every single time I put an offer in the landlord goes with someone else.

This is the first time I’ll be renting by myself, any tips for making the best offer? My offers at this point have been based on offering 6 or 9 months up front.
