Your rights

 

What do we expect from a student tenant?

You (and all tenants in England and Wales) have to:

 

  • Give honest and truthful statements during the process of applying for a house
  • Pay rent when it's due
  • Respect and care for the landlord's property (house, furniture and fittings)
  • Pay the landlord for any damage (other than normal wear and tear) at the end of, or during, the tenancy
  • Pay the landlord for cleaning and removing rubbish at the end of the tenancy if it's 'exceptional' (beyond what's reasonably expected)
  • If there is anything wrong with the house, report it to the landlord as soon as you spot it
  • Not use the house for anything other than as your home (e.g. not to run a business)
  • Not keep pets, unless agreed by your landlord and in your tenancy agreement
  • Not do anything in or near your house that would annoy your landlord or neighbours, damage property or cause a nuisance
  • Not leave the place unoccupied for more than 14 days without letting the landlord (or his/her agent) know
  • Not use your deposit to cover the last month's rent
  • Follow the terms of your tenancy agreement and look after your home in a 'tenant-like manner' - in other words, take care of the place and do the little jobs that it's reasonable for you to do as a tenant e.g. keep drains free of hair.
