What do you need to pay attention to when renting a house in the UK?

I can't talk about legal knowledge, but there are some caveats to be aware of:

The school dormitory is more convenient and trouble-free, there is no need to worry about paying bills after moving in, there is a special person to manage and clean (only limited to public space, your own dormitory still has to be tidied up by yourself), the security is higher, and it will not be thieves.

Depending on the brand, the rent of a student apartment usually includes water, electricity and internet fees, as well as personal property insurance. The building has 24*7 surveillance, as well as a secure access control system, which are all conditions to ensure the safety of students' lives.

Some student residences also provide free weekday breakfast, laundry rooms, common leisure areas, screening rooms, study rooms and gyms.

School dormitories must be booked well in advance! Generally, the dormitory opens in February and March, but the time of each school is different, for example, York University is randomly assigned in July, so some dormitories will be far away from the main campus.

Off-campus rentals and student apartments are also recommended to book in advance to give you more room to choose your preferred room type.

Other types of houses should be clear about the contract when renting, and be sure to figure out these questions:

How long the rental contract is signed;

when you can move out;

Notice of how long you have to move out in advance (not if you move out before the contract expires);

In terms of repairs, the tenant will deal with the situation and the landlord will help with it;

Your deposit will be kept in **;

If there is no error in the name of the contract, the name of the person in question must be used for the deposit keeping.

1. Doubleglazing:

In the British winter, the temperature from the outside is lower, and the double glazing has better thermal insulation and better sound insulation.

2. Heating equipment:

Whether to use gas or electricity: The "prepaid card" method of electricity is relatively expensive.

3. Indoor furniture:

Try to find a house with all the basic furniture, otherwise it will be more expensive to buy new furniture yourself, and you will need to dispose of furniture when you move.

4. Electrical appliances in the kitchen:

Most houses will have appliances such as stoves, ovens, refrigerators, microwaves, and even electric kettles and toasters in the kitchens of most houses. Smoke exhaust fans in British kitchens are generally designed for Western food with less oil smoke, so be sure to close the smoke door when stir-frying, otherwise the sensitive fire alarm system is likely to attract firefighters, which will be very embarrassing, and the circumstances may be fined.

Whether it is abroad or abroad, renting a house is a very troublesome thing, especially in a foreign country, the local laws, people and other things are not very understood, although the students who study abroad can speak English, but for the professional terms on the contract is estimated to be confused.

1. Location. A very important factor in choosing a house is the location of the house, look at the location of your work or school, within what range of your commuting time, whether it is convenient to travel, and of course, the environment around the house, whether it is safe or more convenient in life, and a good environment is more conducive to living.

Also, the house should not be close to the railway or the main road, otherwise it will be very noisy at night, which will have a great impact on your study and work the next day.

2. On-site inspection.

When choosing a house, it is best to go to see the house yourself, and have a more intuitive feeling, how the layout of the house, whether the facilities inside meet your own requirements, whether there is aging or damage, you have seen it yourself, and you can live more comfortably after the photo.

3. The first day of the house and the signing of the contract.

The situation of renting a house abroad and renting a house in China is still very different, and the tenant asks about the rent, how to pay, how much to pay, how to compensate if the breach of contract and other issues are best reflected in the contract, so as to avoid troubles in the future.

There is also to determine the rules of subletting, if your situation changes or you don't want to live here, whether you can sublet, and if so, how to calculate the cost.

4. Landlord or roommate.

If you choose to rent a private house or share a house with strangers, you have to consider the personality and personality of your roommate or landlord. Otherwise, meeting a strange roommate will make you angry.

5. Pay attention to safety.

One of the most important things to pay attention to when studying abroad is safety, and there have been more and more news of accidents involving international students abroad, so safety is especially important.

When you go to a strange foreign city, you will definitely encounter all kinds of emergencies, it is recommended to build an emergency ** book in your mobile phone and computer, such as: the school's alarm**, the international student office's**, the person in charge of the Chinese Student Federation**, the local police station** and other emergencies**. It is important to note that it is best for students to keep in mind the duty of the Education Section of the Chinese Consulate** in case of danger or difficulty.

And you should avoid going out late at night, after all, unlike in China, there are still many people at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, and the law and order is still very good.

6. Abide by local laws and be kind to others.

When you go out, try not to look for trouble, if something goes wrong, you may have to be repatriated, after all, we studied in the past.

Also be kind to others, make some friends worth making, if others find you trouble, don't be too cowardly, let them deal with what the local police can handle, don't forget the Chinese embassy if you can't deal with it, this is your relatives!

I wish all the friends who study abroad can succeed in their studies, live comfortably, and have fun!!

3.
