Be Ready to Rent
The same thing happens every year.
Landlords pressure students into signing contracts they're not sure about. The student is then stuck in a contract they no longer want with people they may not even be close to by the end of the year.
Start with the Be Ready to Rent guide
Our Be Ready to Rent Guide has been created to help you understand what to think about before committing to a property.
It includes practical advice on:
- avoiding pressure to sign too early
- choosing who to live with
- checking your contract, rent and bills
- understanding your responsibilities as a tenant
- spotting issues when viewing a property
Check out our Be Ready to Rent guide to find out everything you should consider before searching for housing.
