Guide to renting for students - Accommodation Checks

Thorough checks: If you find that there is damage to the property on the date of your moving in then you need to make your landlord aware of this so that they cannot hold you responsible. It is a good idea to take photographs of anything particularly bad. If you cause any damage yourself then the sooner you bring it to your landlord’s attention the better.

Many landlords will fix minor defects caused by tenants without charge, for example broken light switches or anything that you can claim wasn’t directly your fault, even though it probably was.
