Private Rented Accommodation
|
Option 1 - Rent an apartment/house
The arrangement that you enter into will be between you and the landlord. Leases are usually for a period of 9 -12 months but in some cases this can be negotiable. There is a good variety of properties to rent in Belfast and all are of a high standard due to government regulations. The types of properties available are:
- 1-4 bedroom city centre apartments/flats.
- 3-5 bedroom houses located close to Queens University and 10 - 15 minutes walk from Belfast Institute.
- TV, cooking facilities and laundry facilities will normally be provided by the landlord.
- You will have to provide your own bed linen and kitchen equipment, e.g. plates, cups, bowls, and cutlery. However we can help you buy these essentials.
- Usually electricity and gas bills are not included in the rent.
- No food included, this is self catering.
