Finding property to rent

When searching for rental properties, it is important to confirm adverts are legitimate before making any payments:

• We recommend you arrange accommodation through a reputable landlord or letting agency.

• Ensure you can view the property and read the contract very carefully before you sign it.

• If you choose to rent a private flat or house, we recommend you view the property in person before agreeing to a tenancy contract.

• Please be aware, based on staff experience, it can be more difficult to secure rental accommodation in late August and September.
