Featuring the video "Trust Me I'm an Estate Agent". A short film made by Brookes Students FOR Brookes Students!
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

If you are suffering from harassment or are being threatened with eviction GET ADVICE. If you are renting a house which your Landlord does not live in, you CANNOT be evicted without a court order - do not be intimidated.
If your Landlord locks you out of the property this is a criminal offence and you should call the police on 0845 850 5505
