  • Don’t rush into making a decision. Take the time to think things through as you’ll be signing a legally binding contract if you decide to move in.
  • We would never recommend signing a contract or paying any money before you have viewed the accommodation.
  • Have a look at our House Hunter Guide for information about how to arrange viewings, legal obligations of the landlord,
    contract types and more.
  • Not familiar with Cambridge as a city? Check out our area guide videos.

You can contact the Residential Service or the Students’ Union for help and advice relating to private renting. For contract checking or issues involving housing or tenancy law, seek legal advice. The Citizens Advice Bureau and the Housing Aid advice centre offer a free legal advice service, or you can contact a specialist solicitor.
