Students and non-students living together?

[hoba]

I'm curious about whether landlords will allow this, as I am looking to move out of my current place and into somewhere else with my friend. The only problem is I am a graduate and he is returning to uni to be a student again.

I know he won't be paying council tax so am wondering if he will have to stick to student properties or not?

 

Anyone out there able to give me a definite answer?

thanks

most landlords probably couldnt care less...you as the non student will have to pay 75% of the council tax for the property...whether your mate chips in to help out is between the 2 of you!

You will still have to pay council tax but other than that there should be no reason why you can't do it. You can also get a discount on council tax if you're the only person paying it.

I live with my fella, he is a student and Im not. You can live in student or non student places it is entirely up to the landlord. Most non-student places will probably take you if you have references.

 

Good luck

I have lived in shared houses for the past 7 years both as a student and as a professional and with one exception they have always been mixed student and nonstudent - depends on the landlord but shouldn't be a problem.
