- 50 week tenancies running from sept 1st – 17th August
- We run fixed term tenancies (they are for a set time with no monthly notice)
- A UK home-owner guarantor, guarantor service or in some circumstances an owner will agree to a full payment up front or rental deposit
- The guarantor will be open to a soft credit check
- Utility and internet bills are included with-in your rent. On a capped usage rate. You will be responsible for anything above and beyond this rate.
- A number of our student properties will also be open to graduates and young professionals. So if you are sharing, it will offer a more diverse experience
- CityHalls is a collection of private halls partners that are perfect for student only accommodation- especially first years!
- Partner properties are managed by other agents or landlords directly that we help to find tenants – your new home may not be managed by CityLets Team

- We do a one months equivalent deposit and your first payment is on day of move in
- As a standard we offer a 12 month tenancy, but a selection of owners are happy with 6 month
