Private housing options

Students may choose to live in private accommodation while attending university. Private accommodation is let out and managed by private landlords, which can feel overwhelming, especially if students who are new to the UK.

At Coventry University London, we offer several options for those who decide on private housing, ensuring they receive relevant information about their rights and responsibilities as a private tenant.

You can register your details directly with letting agents, who will be able to assist in finding properties who meet your criteria. We advise that you check all letting agents are registered with one of the UK’s leading accreditation schemes.

• NAL Safe Agent
• ARLA Propertymark 
• NAEA Propertymark

Note: Search engines are provided on each site, to allow you to filter through and look for Propertymark protected agents.
