“There are many uncertainity while booking a student accommodation in London. If you are not fully prepared, it is easy to be deceived. The student accommodation contract is the legal proof that you can live legally , the importance thus being self-evident. So, how much do you know about the terms of the contract for student accommodation in London? Yixianghaoju has summarized the contract in detail.

Looking at the content of the contract is the first way to analyze whether the student accommodation agency or landlord is formal. The student accommodation contracts provided by serious intermediaries and professional landlords must be provided by regular law firms, and cannot be written by themselves or downloaded from the Internet. Formal contracts will be marked with which law firm it comes from. It does not mean that this cannot be faked, but having the name or seal of the law firm is also an extra insurance.

English contracts are not easy to read, especially if they involve the law, but if you do not read them, you will be the one who suffers the loss. And it will also cause people to write in the original contract, but you didn’t read it, and in the end you still feel that they are unfair. When you are in a student accommodation, you must ask the agency to send you the contract in advance, so that even if you look up words in a dictionary or translate a sentence, you have to read all the terms. If you don’t understand or think it’s wrong, mark it out and tell the agency speak, let them explain or revise.
