Guide to renting for students - Contract

Contract: You should also be aware of any clauses in your contract and if you are not happy with them make sure you bring this to the attention of your landlord. A friend of mine had a contract with their landlord that said upon inspection of the flat any light bulb found to be not in working order would incur a £100 fine.

Different landlords will leave different responsibilities to the renters of their property. Some landlords may consider the care of drains and garden the tenants responsibility, others may not. You need to check these things out before you sign your tenancy agreement.
