Housing

Download our Be Ready to Rent guide

 

The Advice Team can advise students in regard to aspects of private rented housing such as:

 

  • Deposit protection
  • Contract checking
  • Reporting disrepair
  • The Tenants Fee’s act
  • Complaints (Lettings agents and Landlords)
  • Harassment
  • Evictions
  • Finding a replacement tenant
  • Tenant’s rights

 

If you need help with any of the above, you can book an appointment with one of our expert advisers.

 

 

Private Landlord accommodation

 

Many students will opt to rent in private accommodation this year.

 

The First place you should visit when looking for Private accommodation whilst studying at EHU is EHS Student pad https://www.edgehillstudentpad.co.uk/Accommodation
 
 
You will be able to view properties registered with the service and you will now have the opportunity to review current pictures of the accommodation and individual rooms to be able to make the most informed choice.


 

If you opt to rent from a private landlord, it is a private, legally binding agreement between a tenant and a landlord. This means that neither the university nor the SU has the authority to demand the termination of an agreement nor demand that repairs are carried out etc. (though the SU advice centre can advise what steps a tenant can take to get essential repairs carried out).

 

Campus Accommodation

 

If you have any concerns about campus accommodation, in the first instance you should contact the university accommodation team via 

Accommodation@edgehill.ac.uk or visit their website. 

 

The accommodation team will be able to advise you about repairs, room transfers, and any potential restrictions based on Government and local guidance.

 

If instructions are given in regard to restricted movement, that would be based on Government guidelines rather than contractual terms. We must again point out the Students’ Union Advice Team would not be in a position to challenge Government guidance in regard to restriction of movement or challenging to be released from your halls agreement based on restrictions set out by the Government or local authority.
