There should be space for a family size fridge freezer of at least 7cu.ft. Bathrooms should be tiled and have a bath with shower attachment and curtain or screen. Both kitchen and bathroom must have adequate ventilation. Proximity to the University is important. Ideally houses should be no more than two miles away.
Some students have cars.
In houses away from the town centre the availability of parking space for two cars per house, including the road outside, is preferable. We recommend that you or a gardening contractor maintain the garden. The University provides special tenancy agreements to owners letting through the University Property Management Scheme. With this agreement the University is your tenant. The tenancies are for fixed terms usually for a minimum of four months up to a maximum of five years.
