Choose the right words and fill in the gaps.
1. Now you’re on your own.
2. How on earth did you find such a place?
3. Don’t panic: everyone is in the same boat.
4. You should start by making a list of what you want in a house.
5. For example, do you want a bath or will a shower do?
6. Do you mind sharing a bathroom or do you want one of your own?
7. You should also think about where your house should be situated.
8. Bus and train fares can cost a fortune.
9. When you finally find the place you want and it doesn’t cost a fortune, go and see it.
10. Never trust anyone, even if the person says he or she lived there last year.
11. Sometimes a place sounds great, but as soon as you go in, you realise you couldn’t live there.
12. And sometimes a place doesn’t sound so exciting, but you may fall in love with it the moment you see it.
13. I’ll never forget my friend going to see a flat where she was supposed to live with an old lady and her lovely little dog.
14. When she went in, she saw a huge Staffordshire terrier, and she was glad she had checked the flat before moving in.
15. Secondly, make sure you have prepared a list of questions you want to ask the landlord.
16. Will you have to pay the rest of the rent if the other rooms are not occupied?
17. How much is the deposit and will it be returned at the end of the rental period?
18. If there is a garden, are you responsible for it?
19. Are there any locked rooms?
20. Is the house in good condition?
21. If the landlord promises to repair something, include the promises in the contract.
22. There are also a few things you should pay attention to: what is included in the rent and what extra bills are there?
23. So, if you find a house for £40 a week, but that money doesn’t cover the other bills, you won’t save money, especially if the other rooms are empty.
24. Don’t forget that the rent should be agreed before signing the contract.
25. Before you sign, you can negotiate with the landlord to get better terms and save money.
26. Always try to read the contract again and don’t forget to take a copy of it!
27. And, most importantly, start looking early, because, as I’ve already said, we’re all in the same boat, so you’ll be one of hundreds of students looking for accommodation.
