What to look out for when renting an apartment for study in Manchester

Located in the north-west of England, Manchester is a city with a rich history and a mild climate, making it a great city to visit. Apart from London, Manchester is the largest financial centre in the UK. In addition, Manchester is very well connected and it is easy to travel from the city to other cities. In terms of education, it is also excellent, with the University of Manchester among the top schools. Today, I’d like to tell you about renting and studying in Manchester.

You need to pay close attention to the location of your Manchester student apartments, and consider whether it is convenient for transportation, safe and convenient for living nearby. You should also consider the distance from the school, the conditions of the neighbourhood, whether the plumbing is good, whether there are cracks in the floor and walls, how hygienic the conditions are, and whether the facilities such as the stove, air conditioner and fridge are working properly. Be very careful in the early stages. Especially if you are a girl, don’t look for an apartment in a particularly remote location. When you are looking for a room, pay attention to the locks on the doors, whether they can be locked from the inside or outside, as personal safety and privacy is very important, whether you are living on your own or sharing a room with others. Also, when renting an apartment, try to search online for the security situation in the area you want to rent. It’s a good idea to check before you rent. It is also important to know the emergency number of your school, the phone number of your landlord or agent, the police number of your place of residence and the phone number of the local Chinese embassy or consulate.

Also you must have a contract to rent an apartment. With a formal contract, you can clarify the nature of the rent and have legal proof in the event of a dispute. There is usually a situation where, for example, the rent for two rooms looks the same on the face of it in terms of figures, but the costs they cover are different, for example one of them is inclusive of costs such as water and gas and no further payments are made on top of the rent, while there is another situation where you may have to pay for your own water, electricity and gas, and the difference in the final payment between the two is significant. Issues such as these need to be fully clarified before signing the contract and clearly spelled out in the contract. It is important to read every clause on the contract carefully before signing it to make sure there are no problems with it.

One issue that you need to pay extra attention to when renting is the possibility of meeting a second landlord, both Chinese and foreign, when screening properties. Although the process of renting through a second landlord is sometimes convenient, the problems later on can be very problematic. Be sure to look for a formal platform to rent your home. Many second landlords do not have the permission of the original owner, but secretly rent out the home to new tenants. In such cases, the lease contract signed between the second landlord and the tenant cannot be protected by law. Once the original landlord finds out, the illegal contract will be terminated and the tenant will be forced to move out of the house. Special attention should be paid to the formalities of the renter during the viewing process.

Many international students prefer to share a room, and there are many advantages to sharing a room. This will reduce the possibility of disputes.

When you are studying abroad, you like to go to some interesting places to have fun, so now we are going to give you a list of some interesting markets in Manchester that you can visit in your spare time.
