Private rentals

Essential information about privately rented accommodation in Brighton and Hove

Privately rented accommodation is arranged when you are already in Brighton as you need to sign a contract. It is therefore important that if you choose this accommodation option, you arrange accommodation for the first few weeks you are in Brighton.

You have the option of sharing a flat/house or living alone.

Please Note - a Deposit is Required

A deposit of approximately 1 month's rent is usually required in advance and electricity, water, TV licence and other bills will be extra.

Important - Giving Notice to your Rental Agent

The agreement between you and the private rental agent is a legal document and is for a set time period. If you move out early, you must give written notice, usually one calendar month and will have to pay the rent for that notice period.
