2 Things to remember You should always view any accommodation before signing any tenancy or rent agreement. Do not go to view accommodation on your own take a friend or fellow student with you for a second opinion. Be clear about the rent and any additional costs (are all bills included or will you be responsible for paying these? Are there any administration or registration fees?) Most landlords will ask you to sign an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement. Tenancy agreements are legally binding documents and, once signed, will tie you to a property for the duration of the agreement usually twelve months, although this may vary from property to property. Some landlords may agree to you leaving if you find another student to take your place, but this is not guaranteed. A group of students renting a house will usually be asked to sign one contract, which makes each student jointly and severally liable for the rent. This means that if one student leaves the others will be asked to make up the shortfall in the rent. Many landlords will ask students to provide a UK-based guarantor (usually a parent or relative). You should always read any tenancy agreement carefully and ask if you do not understand something. If the landlord agrees to make any repairs, or makes any amendments to the agreement, you should obtain written confirmation of this. The landlord should provide you with a signed copy of the tenancy agreement, and inform you who to contact if any repairs are required. You should ensure that arrangements for the payment of rent are clear, and that you are given signed receipts for any money paid to the landlord. Most landlords will ask for a deposit, equivalent to one month s rent, when you sign a tenancy agreement. By law, your landlord should place this in a Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme and should provide you with details of the scheme used. If you are renting a room in a family house you do not need a tenancy agreement, but you should request written terms of agreement, stating who the landlord and tenants are, the rent payable, the start and end date of tenancy, and any house rules. When you first move into a property you and your landlord should take an inventory of all furniture, fittings and equipment. If there is any damage evident when you move in, you should note this on the inventory to ensure you are not charged for damage you have not caused. A copy of the inventory should be retained by all parties. It can be a good idea to take photos of any existing damage when you move in. Most landlords will insure their buildings, but it is up to you to arrange insurance for your own personal possessions. You may wish to consider security marking and noting serial numbers of any valuable items such as computer equipment. Think carefully before signing any contracts or paying a deposit for accommodation before you have received an unconditional offer to study at AECC University College.
