If one rents a house with a garden, one may have to look after it. 9. Buses and trains don t cost much. 10. It is important to be able to lock your room when you leave. Sunny Jenny OK! You’re on your own here. There’s no Mummy doing all the searching for you and asking all the right questions. So how on earth do you find a house? Don’t panic: everyone’s in the same boat. You need to begin by making a list of what you want in a house. For instance, do you want a bath or will just a shower be OK? Do you want a washing machine (my advice — YES — launderettes are a nightmare and you can’t afford to have things cleaned for you). Are you OK with sharing a bathroom or do you want an en suite of your own? You also need to think about where your house is located — bus and train fares can add up to a lot of money. When you finally find a place that sounds good and is not going to cost you a fortune, go and see it. Never believe anybody, even if the person says he or she lived there last year. Sometimes a place sounds perfect, but the minute you walk through the door, you understand you can’t live there. And sometimes a place doesn’t sound thrilling, but you’ll probably fall in love with it the moment you see it. I’ll never forget how a friend of mine went to view a flat which she was supposed to share with an old lady and her lovely little dog. When she went inside, she saw a huge Staffordshire terrier, so she was glad she checked before moving in. Secondly, make sure you take with you a list of questions you want to ask. Will you have to pay the rest of the rent if the other rooms aren’t filled? How big is the deposit and will it be returned at the end of your rent? Is there a garden — are you responsible for it? Are the rooms lockable? Is the house in good condition? If the landlord promises to have things repaired, get his promises included in the contract. There are also a few things you should look out for: what is included in the rent and how much are the extra bills? So if you’ve found a house for ?40 a week, but it doesn’t cover any bills — you aren’t going to save money, especially if the other rooms are empty. Don’t forget that the rent must be agreed before the contract. Before you sign, you can negotiate with the landlord to get better conditions and save money. Always try to get your contract checked and remember to get a copy of it! And most of all, start looking early because, as I’ve already said, we’re all in the same boat, so there ’11 be hundreds of students looking for accommodation *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
