Advice for first time renting?
I am starting Uni in London this September and me and my boyfriend want to rent a studio/semi-studio/1 Bed apartment for the first time.
I know I won't have to pay council tax because I will be a full time student but will he even if we split paying the rent? He will be paying by a job.
What advice do you have for a couple who don't want a houseshare/flatshare to rent but can only manage about £500 a month rent?
Answer:He will still have pay council tax, but as he is classed as the only person living there (because you are exempt) he'll get a 25% discount.
Living in London you won't find anywhere half decent for two people on £500 a month – the only things you'll be able to get are tiny little bedsits or flatshares,
Answer:I beleive he would still have to pay council tax.
Answer:I agree with JL. the only thing I would add is that IF you weren't with your working BF, you would have to fund your accommodation out of your Student Grant. Maybe if you consider still doing that it would give you more choice and a better chance of finding somewhere nice.
