Letting agents hidden charges- Article in The Guardian.
This article gives good information about the escalating charges imposed by letting agents. If in any doubt, come and talk to an adviser in The Students' Union Advice Centre
"Trust Me I'm an Estate Agent"
How to find a rented house for next year and not get ripped off in the process!
View the housing talk from here!
Each year, we see hundreds of students who have committed themselves to poor contracts and are unable to get out of them, or have lost MONEY to letting agents and landlords. It affects their studies and ruins their time at University!
The talk includes information on how to rent, what pitfalls you might come across and how to avoid them.
Don't become one of our unfortunate statistics, come to our talk and be informed!
Don’t sign anything you don't fully understand
.
Important Notice!
If the TOTAL rent for your house exceeds £2,083/mnth your deposit will not be protected. Please seek advice from the advice centre.
