The rental price of your property will depend on various factors (e.g. location, condition, available appliances), but broadly speaking, £85 – £100 per week per person fits most students' budgets.

Many students expect utility bills, such as electricity and the internet, to be included in the rent. It's worth factoring them into your pricing.

You can rent rooms individually or offer a 'joint and several liability agreement', where two or more students sign up to the same contract. There's an option in Studentpad to choose the type of agreement you want, so you can match with tenants looking for the same deal.

If the rooms you're letting have different contract end dates or rolling contracts, you can create new adverts on Studentpad as and when you need to.

You can also advertise on the platform if you're a resident landlord, which is often an option for short-term student lets.

Along with standard laws and regulations, properties with 3 or more beds (but with shared facilities like the bathroom and kitchen) are classified as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). If you want to rent out your property as an HMO, you must contact ºÚÁÏÈë¿Ú City Council to check if you need a licence.

If your property can accommodate 5 or more tenants, you must hold a large HMO licence.

To be listed on Studentpad, your property must be furnished and maintained to a modern and clean standard.

There are some common expectations students have of potential homes. A desk and chair in their bedroom, a good communal area for the number of people living there and wifi are just a few.

Posting your advertisement with clear photos of the bedrooms and common areas will help draw interest from students. Lumping in utilities and other bills into rental payments is another plus-point.

With enrolments growing year-on-year, there will always be students needing centrally located accommodation. Private letting is a great alternative for many who either can't get a place in university halls, or would rather share a house.

Many landlords use the summer time for essential maintenance to prepare the property for the next academic year. Other landlords offer half-rent over the summer to students who don't head home, while some provide summer-only lets.

You're also free to let to non-students as well, though council tax regulations get complicated if you mix students and non-students.

To sign up and advertise your property on Studentpad, you need to provide information and documentation about your property, register online and pass all necessary checks.
