This is a lie!<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of houses available for students in town. Students who rush into signing <em>legally binding<\/em> contracts in the first semester are often the ones who want to get out of the contract later. You will see students advertising for roommates because people have dropped out of their group \/left university and need to get the spare room let quickly.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not a good situation to be in. So don\u2019t rush. Take your time and wait until<em> after<\/em> Christmas to look for student accommodation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-accommodationJPG.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-693\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-accommodationJPG-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"Students looking for accommodation\" width=\"900\" height=\"611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-accommodationJPG-1024x695.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-accommodationJPG-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-accommodationJPG-370x251.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-accommodationJPG-770x523.jpg 770w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-accommodationJPG-900x611.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>When should you look for accommodation?<\/h4>\n<p>Wait until semester two or even the summer- yes really! May or June is the best time to look as you\u2019ll be able to take your pick of the houses and negotiate better deals with the agent. For example, you can get them to agree to start the contract in September so you don\u2019t pay rent over the summer.<\/p>\n<p>This leaves you with more time to get to know the people you\u2019re currently living with and find new people to live with. Having more time is only a good thing; you will have a better idea of who your friends really are and if you are going to be happy living together.<\/p>\n<h3>MYTH: You can still change your mind once you\u2019ve signed (sorry folks, this one\u2019s not true!)<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve signed a contract, it\u2019s very difficult to then walk away should you change your mind. After all, your tenancy agreement is a <em>legally binding<\/em> contract, which means you will either have to live in the house or find someone to take your place (not easy if others have also made the mistake of renting too soon).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-myths-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-694\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-myths-4-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Students\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-myths-4-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-myths-4-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-myths-4-370x246.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-myths-4-770x511.jpg 770w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-myths-4-900x598.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.lboro.ac.uk\/freshers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2015\/11\/student-myths-4.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>MYTH: The letting agent is looking out for you (well, this is awkward\u2026)<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that the letting agent works for the landlord and is looking after the landlord\u2019s interest, <em>not<\/em> yours.
