(LODGINGS)
Warwick Accommodation provides information and advice to students and staff
seeking shared accommodation within the local area. Please note that many of
our short term visitors may not have their own transport and therefore properties
on a direct bus route to the University campus are more likely to attract interest.

Under this scheme, the owner will deal directly with any prospective tenant. This
will involve agreeing (in advance) the terms of the let i.e. length of the let, rent,
notice period, how bills are to be paid etc. Rent is normally paid on a monthly
basis and it is advisable that you issue your tenant with a receipt and consider
providing your tenant with a rent book. Further information can be found at:
www.direct.gov.uk
For the current academic year, tenants are paying approximately £65 - £85 per
week inclusive of bills when lodging with the owner. It is a good idea to have a
written agreement setting out the rights and responsibilities of the tenant and of the
owner. It is also useful to have an inventory of everything in the house to avoid any
misunderstanding.

Your tenants are entitled to privacy in their accommodation. This means that you
should not go into their room without their permission. If you need to gain entry,
you must let them know beforehand and arrange to call at a convenient time. If
your tenants pay a deposit when they move in, you must return this when they
leave. You may deduct the cost of any damage or breakages, but you cannot
make tenants pay for fair wear and tear on your property.
By law all landlords are responsible for making sure that gas and electrical appliances are maintained in
good order and checked for safety at least every 12 months (for gas appliances) and every five years
(for electrical appliances). You are legally obliged to keep a record of the safety checks and issue it to
your tenants.
