STUDENT HOUSE SHARE IN EDINBURGH

Edinburgh could be very expensive, when it comes to renting a flat and most times the flat is not in a good shape, furnished with dilapidated and most time out of date furniture and not very well maintained. In most cases the Tenant have to furnish the flat to his or her taste which cost more money added to the deposit and one month rent depending on different landlords or letting agent.
Student house share tends to be the way out where a student rents a complete flat which could be 2, 3,or 4 bedrooms, and then sublets the other rooms to other students and the rent  shared among themselves, making it cheaper for them to rent an accommodation after taking one room to himself. At the end of every month he collects money from all the other students he sublets rooms to and pays the landlord or letting agent. In some cases the original student who rented the flat in the first place might end up living there for free if after paying the bills and some change is left after paying the Landlord or Letting agent. Some Landlord or letting agent tend to do this themselves by renting each rooms in a flat to different students or other members of the public who are mostly on a low pay or wages.
