Deposit
After taking a fancy to the landlord’s house and preparing to rent it and paying the deposit, the landlord can no longer rent the house to others.

If the British student accommodation has the following situations during the rental period, the expenses incurred will be deducted from the deposit accordingly. 1. Damage to the housing facilities; 2. Failure to pay rent; 3. Lost items; 4. House cleaning fee. The Tenancy Deposit Scheme has been implemented in the United Kingdom a few years ago.

Homeowners who have multiple properties in England and Wales (mainly if they refer to properties with more than three floors and are rented out) must apply to the local council for a housing rental permit. Failure to do so will result in a fine of up to 20,000 and forfeiture of rent. The homeowner or agent who applies for a house rental permit must be able to prove their legal identity, and also check some of their previous actions and whether they have a criminal record (but not necessarily the existence of a criminal record will inevitably make them lose eligibility for student housing)

Gas Safety Certificate
If there are gas appliances in the house rented out by the landlord, he should issue a gas safety certificate within the validity period. Landlords must provide each tenant with a copy of the security certificate. Note that before moving into the room, the landlord must be required to issue it. Even if the rented room (for students) does not have gas heating equipment, all electrical appliances must be checked once a year.

In recent years, private student housing has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional dormitories. Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) managed by private companies often offers modern amenities, including en-suite bathrooms, shared kitchen facilities, and recreational spaces.
