Accommodation

Coming to university often involves moving into new accommodation, which can be expensive, and you may encounter a few problems along the way. Whether you’re living in university halls or renting in the private sector, alone or with friends, we can help.

Checklists and fact sheets

Taking a bit of care at the start can reduce the number and severity of any problems that might arise, but even the most careful tenants can experience problems. It’s important to be aware of your rights and responsibilities, so we’ve created some checklists and fact sheets to help.

Read through our fact sheets below. If you need to know more, you can book an appointment with one of our advisers or alternatively email your enquiry to advice@thesu.org.uk.
