Private Rented Accommodation

What is Private Rented Accommodation?

'Private Rented Accommodation' refers to privately owned rooms, flats and houses being let out by their owners for residential purposes. The rent is paid either weekly or monthly, and you would normally sign a 'Tenancy Agreement' contract with the owner.

Private rented accommodation is generally cheaper than halls of residence, but keep in mind that you may have to pay for utility bills (water, gas and electricity) separately from the rent.
