Renting a room in Croydon: what to check
- What the rent covers — ask whether bills (gas, electricity, water, broadband) and council tax are included. They often are for rooms, but not always.
- Right to Rent — in England, landlords must check that you have the right to rent, so keep your passport and eVisa share code ready.
- Deposit protection — on an assured shorthold tenancy, your deposit must be protected in a government-approved scheme. Different rules apply if you live with your landlord as a lodger.
- View first — see the room in person or on a video call, and meet the people you will live with, before paying anything.
- Your commute — check the journey from Croydon to your university or workplace at peak time.
