My son secured student accommodation via Student@Cardens letting during the last academic year. Being young and excited to be at university he did not pay attention to what he was signing up for. He had a room in the house that was so small you couldn't swing a cat in it. We had to complain in order to get the room painted because mould was showing through the walls. My son did not want to make too much of a fuss at the time because he was with his friends and didn't want to be displaced.
Student Lettings should be ashamed of themselves for letting this room to a naive young person and charging a high market value for the privilege. In the end, living in what was a pretty squalid room got my son down and he became affected by having to stay there each night.
The rest of the house wasn't of a particularly high standard either. Old musty smelling carpets that should have been replaced years ago.
