Rent Levels

Rent levels for Sheffield student accommodation will reflect the location, type of housing, standard and services provided. It is common practice for Sheffield landlords to request that the rent is paid in advance by either three or four payments during the academic year.

Rent on student accommodation is charged for the full length of the contract, normally 52 weeks. However, if the property is unoccupied over the summer, some landlords with properties in areas such as Crookes, Hunters Bar and Walkley may consider reducing the rent for six to eight weeks.

The utility bills for the rental property are normally extra, however, some landlords with properties in areas such as Crookes, Hunters Bar and Walkley may consider including the water rates in the rent.
