Frequently asked questions

Are bills included in student rents?

It depends on the listing. Ask for a written breakdown of rent, included utilities, broadband, usage limits and any separately payable costs. A bills-included label does not establish that every bill is covered or that usage is unlimited.

Do I need a guarantor?

Requirements differ between landlords and accommodation providers. Ask whether a guarantor is needed, who can act as one and what alternatives are accepted. Review the terms and any costs before agreeing.

How long is a student tenancy?

The arrangement depends on the UK nation and whether you rent a private home or student halls. In England, private student lets will usually be assured periodic tenancies; qualifying halls can have different arrangements. Ask for the applicable tenancy type, start date, notice requirements and any fixed term before signing.

Can I view the property before signing?

Yes, you can book an in-person or virtual viewing directly through the listing page. We recommend viewing before committing to a tenancy.
