Student renting tips
6 things every Coventry student should know before signing
Start in October. Earlsdon and Canley properties near Coventry University go fast. Warwick students need to move even quicker — off-campus housing fills up early.
Know your area. Earlsdon and Chapelfields suit Coventry University students. Canley and Stivichall are better positioned for Warwick. Check bus routes before committing.
Always inspect in person. Check for damp, mould, adequate heating, and whether the property has a valid HMO licence if you're in a group of 3 or more.
Check deposit protection. Your deposit must be registered in a government-backed scheme within 30 days. Ask which one before you pay anything.
Document everything. Timestamped move-in photos protect you from unfair deposit deductions — do it room by room before you unpack.
Consider bills-included options. Coventry winters can push energy bills high. All-inclusive lets like Lettuce remove the budgeting headache entirely.
