The Accommodation Office advertises for private sector accommodation and maintains lists of rooms, houses and flats. These lists are available in a free newspaper 'Student Housing Special' which is published in the middle of March and marks the start of the house hunting season. During the spring and summer the easiest way to view the lists if you are in the University is on the web which is updated daily. If you are away from the University lists can be Emailed using the form below. Tenancies in these properties are from 9 to 12 months.
Rents are similar to shared houses but usually include bills.
Agreements are often shorter and more flexible than in joint tenancies. The University does not inspect rooms offered for letting. Students should carefully inspect accommodation and ensure they are happy with arrangements before signing agreements. Staff in the Accommodation Office will offer advice and check tenancy agreements. Further advice about renting accommodation see Renting in Private Sector - information for students .
