Things to remember

There is plenty of private sector accommodation available – don’t rush
Average rent for a single room in a shared house is approx £55 - £65 per week
Budget for utilities e.g. gas, electric, water, unless your tenancy agreement states that these are included
Cathays and Roath are popular areas with students
Check the property has adequate security i.e. window and door locks, and also that sufficient fire precautions have been considered
Confirm what facilities are available in the property, including whether you require a permit if parking is available
If all residents within a dwelling are full time students you should be exempt from paying Council Tax
If a landlord has rented the property listed but offers you another property, check with your accommodation services to establish whether any safety certificates such as gas and electric have been presented for this property. Houses you are offered that are not on the list have not given evidence of appropriate safety certificates and are potentially unsuitable
