Email, letter or text message is the best way to communicate with your landlord or agent as it will create a written record of your correspondence
Make sure you pay your rent on time and budget for all household bills. If you're struggling with your finances have a look at the help available in our Money section
Keep your property secure and have a think about taking out contents insurance from providers like Endsleigh as this is not provided under a normal private tenancy
Agree with your housemates early on in the tenancy as to how bills will be shared/paid and how any disputes will be resolved. (Please note - Advice SU can't become involved in inter-tenant disputes). You might want to set up a house group facebook page or whatsapp group
Make sure you know the University's regulations on bullying and harassment, social media policies, and disciplinary policies. Remember - your conduct counts both on and off campus
If you find you encounter any difficulties with disciplinary matters related to your tenancy in the first instance, please get in touch with us by emailing studentadvice@qub.ac.uk
