Things you must ask before choosing a student accommodation? (2013-09-13)
Before we choose a Jesmond student accommodation we must have a questionnaire prepared which should clear any doubts regarding the place. The problem is that we are not able to device all the questions, because of which we have to face the dire consequences later on. The questions could be to the agent or even to the landlord. In this article we will be bringing those queries to your attention which should be asked before finalizing Jesmond student lettings,
- Payment of rent
First and foremost is payment of rent, How and when it has to be paid.
Is it supposes to go through the agent or directly paid to the owners?
Which mode has to be chosen check or bank transfer?
How much grace time do we get for the payment of rent?
What will happen if we are unable to pay the rent due to lack of funds in a particular month?
The above questions will help you to be prepared in the worst conditions and how to manage them as well.
- Amenities covered in the rent
Your Jesmond student accommodation rent will simply include the rent of the room or other amenities with the accommodation. The main emphasis is on whether any furniture, wardrobe, dresser will be provided and does it covers in the rent or something extra has to be paid for it.
- Expenses apart from the rent
Expenses such as electricity, water, heaters are exclusive of rent of your Jesmond student accommodation or are covered in it. In normal cases these are expenses apart from the rent you pay because these things will vary from month to month.
- Taxes
Are there any hidden taxes that are needed to be paid or it’s just the rent amount for the accommodation. It is better to ask this in the starting itself because you might feel deceived if the total amount goes more than what was decided. So to avoid last minute shocks better clear the doubts in the initial phase.
- Notice time
How much notice period is to be given before leaving the Jesmond student properties? Notice period is basically a grace period for the landlord in which they will find a suitable person to replace the place which you will be leaving. Normally it ranges from 15 – 30 days.
- Commission to the Agent
How much will be the agent’s commission? Will it be a fixed price or depends upon the property we choose. An agent who will go for a fixed amount will be better since the commission amount will not vary and will show you the Jesmond student accommodation for your interest and not his.
