In each Sulets privately rented property there will be bills for gas, electricity, water and internet services that will need to be paid. Who pays depends on what your contract says.
Sulets Leased Properties
Check clause B5 of your tenancy agreement, which will explain what you need to pay for in terms of bills.
If bills are included, there may be a spending cap, so check the ‘additional considerations’ section at the end of the agreement for details of these.
If bills are not included, a bills package can be arranged using The Student Energy Group. Please contact us for a quote if you would like to arrange this.
There will be no Council Tax charge where only full time students occupy a house, but you will need to get confirmation of your student status from your university to make sure you are not charged. There are specific rules governing who is classed as a full-time student and tenants are advised to check this before choosing who to live with.
Most Sulets leased properties have contents insurance cover for tenants. Give us a call and we can confirm this for you. The current insurance cover info document can be found here.
