Renting As A Student

It is an exciting time, a new start, leaving the nest, embarking on one's life adventure but the start of University can also be a worrying time, particularly in regards to accommodation. 

All too often we picture a student home as being run down, cold and in a poor state of repair. We read about uninterested Landlords not offering the level of service you would expect from a private rent.Thankfully, the Government has altered the renting landscape for students which should make the entire process clearer, safer and less stressful.

New rules come into place from October 1^st 2018 and from this date adequate size bedrooms (no less than 6.51 metres squared for one adult) and sufficient rubbish bins are among some of the things a Landlord must now provide. Please note that Landlords have 18 months from the law coming into force to get the bedroom sizes right.
