Reserving Student Accommodation Brighton

If you live in another city or country, you might be concerned with how to find proper student accommodation in Brighton. Do not worry, we have a large number of furnished apartments to let and you can see and even book an apartment online.

In order to reserve student accommodation Brighton, you would need to provide a holding fee. This fee would be valid for fourteen days. During this time, you will need to get together and send us the paperwork needed in order to let the flat. You will need an ID along with proof that you have the money needed to pay the rent for the time that you are residing in Brighton.

It is a wise idea to have the needed papers prepared before reserving a flat. After fourteen days the holding period will expire. 

Choosing the student accommodation Brighton

You will probably want to learn about Brighton before arriving, especially if you intend to be studying in the city for some time. Find out which parts of town are located near the university or college you are studying at. You will also want to make sure the part of town you are considering living in is safe. 

When looking for 'student accommodation Brighton' on our website, you will probably find that flats in certain parts of town are cheaper than others. This is common; the area of town where a flat is located has a large bearing on the price. If you cannot afford to live near your university or college, then make sure the flat is located near public transport.

You should also realize that some flats offer a number of amenities while others do not. If, for instance, the flat has a large garden area and pool, then you will have to pay not only rent but also maintenance fees to the apartment complex management. In some instances such a fee may cover water and electric bills but this is not always the case.

Signing the Contract

Once you have found and reserved an apartment via our website, the landlord will take some time to consider your application. If the landlord accepts your rental offer, the contract will be drawn up. We encourage you to read the contract carefully and make sure that you understand it in full before signing it. If English is not your native language, then you may want to have the contract translated before you sign. Remember, a contract is a binding legal agreement. You need to be aware of exactly what you are agreeing to as far as the duration of your stay and contract extension/renewal options.

Generally speaking, apartments to let are rented out for six to twelve months at a time. If you would like to let a flat for either a shorter or longer duration of time, you should speak to the owner about this before the contract is drawn up. Flat owners providing student accommodation Brighton are aware that students have special needs and often are willing to make allowances for these.

Be aware that you will need to pay the rent and deposit before you move in. After you have moved into the apartment, you will need to pay rent on the rent due date of each month. You will also be responsible for the utility bills and should pay these as soon as they arrive.

When you leave, the owner will check the apartment and return the deposit if the apartment is in good condition. If the apartment needs to be cleaned and/or you have damaged the apartment in some way, then the owner will retain part of the deposit to cover repairs and cleaning.

Other Important Points to be Aware of

The owner or property manager has the right to inspect the property while you are staying there. However, you as the tenant must be notified before any inspection takes place. Generally speaking, the property will be inspected twice during your stay.

The landlord is responsible for the maintenance of the apartment during your stay. If, for instance, the plumbing does not work properly, then it is the sole responsibility of the landlord to have this problem repaired. If appliances that were provided by the landlord cease working, then these likewise should be either repaired or replaced by the landlord.

On the other hand, the landlord is not responsible for any damage caused by the tenant. If you break something, you will need to either repair or replace it. You are also not allowed to redecorate, paint or make alterations to the apartment without the express permission of the landlord. Pets are not allowed on the premises unless the landlord has given permission in writing. Smoking is also not allowed. If you break the rules set forth in the contract, the landlord can evict you and chances are you will not get back your full deposit.
