Whether you are moving out of student accommodation or away from home, finding a decent, affordable
and safe place to rent as a student is no easy task. (1)___ A number of challenges still remain despite these
rules, however, and being aware of them from the outset is crucial.
The best place to start your search is your university’s accommodation office. (2)___ Don’t forget that, if
you are looking for a place to share with other students, word of mouth is a great way to get useful
information. Online student forums can also be a good source of rental opportunities.
Before homing in on any specific property, make a checklist of the essential features as well as any
features you might find desirable but could live without. (3)___ The closer the place is to your university,
however, the more expensive it is likely to be, so give yourself some leeway when it comes to the part of
the city it is in. If it is further away, make sure that transport is reliable and easily accessible, and that the
distance won’t interfere with your daily schedule. You should consider access to social activities outside of
school hours, as well as your academic commitments, since maintaining a social life is crucial for a
fulfilling student experience.
Once you have found the place that seems right for you, whether through an agency or by directly
contacting the landlord or one of the lodgers, start thinking about the money and terms. Negotiation is
sometimes possible, but this often depends on where the property is located. (4) ___ If you object to their
terms, and the place is close to the university, they can easily find more desperate students who are
willing to accept them. In more outlying areas, you may be able to talk the rent down, or pay a lower
deposit. You might even be able to reduce the length of the rental agreement to nine months instead of the
usual twelve. This can be a boon, especially if you are in your final year of studies and have no reason to
stay on through the summer.
A Property owners close to universities tend to be less flexible, since they know they have no need to
come down in price.
B Even if they can’t refer you to a specific property that’s available to rent, they can point you in the right
direction.
C It is better not to look for a place with every possible amenity, since it will make your search harder
and it is likely put a strain on your budget.
D Fortunately, new laws and regulations have been introduced which make the student rental market
less risky than it used to be.
E Location is, of course, one of the key features.
