When and how do I pay my rent?
One of the great things about rooms4u is the flexibility provided for rental payments. We prefer to have all rent paid by direct debit but in certain circumstances we can agree to monthly payments by card or even standing orders. What you have to remember is that all rent needs to be paid in advance. We can also tailor payment schedules to co-inside with your loan payments. One of our team will discuss options with you.
Do I need a Guarantor
All tenants must to have a Guarantor before we can agree to rent to them. Generally this will be a parent or relative. A short form needs to be completed and signed by the guarantor before we can confirm your Tenancy Agreement. Tenants unable to provide a Guarentor need to discuss
this with a member of our team.

All of our properties are fully furnished. This includes bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, desk and chair in each bedroom; as well as living room furniture.

Rooms 4u provides you with all the appliances you will need. This includes washing machine, microwave, fridge freezer, toaster, kettle, iron and board as well as mop, bucket and sweeping brush (special training courses can be provided on how to use these items).
Are pets allowed?
Due to issues concerning escapologists only goldfish are permitted as pets.
Can I have guests to stay?
Feel free to invite friends and family to your new house. However we do limit these visits to 7 days without our prior agreement.
Can I re-paint my room?
Although we do appreciate tenants wishing to make their room their own we do not permit the painting of rooms. Your taste may not match with future tenants.
Can I put posters on the wall?
We encourage tenants to brighten up their walls with pictures and posters. However bluetac leaves a residue on the walls which proves difficult to paint over, therefore other methods such drawing pins or staples should be used.
If my house mate does not pay their rent am I liable?
You will have signed a ‘Joint and Several’ liability contract so legally everyone is liable for everyone’s debt. We do however always seek to recover any debt from the tenant first and then their Guarantor before approaching other tenants. In cases where you may have just rented a room in the house and you don’t know the other tenants then other rules apply and one of the team will explain these to you before signing your contract.
