What is different here

Booked means gone
Elsewhere: the ad stays up after the room is taken, and you message for nothing.
Here: the moment someone pays, the room comes off the site and off the market. What you see is free.

Rooms picked for you
Elsewhere: you scroll hundreds of ads that do not fit.
Here: tell us your budget, your move in date and the areas you like, and we show the rooms that match.

A booking form under the 2026 law
Elsewhere: forms and terms that still ask for a fixed term or months of rent in advance.
Here: a rolling tenancy and a booking form written for the Renters' Rights Act 2026.

Pay one week, on the site
Elsewhere: bank transfers to people you have never met.
Here: you pay one week's holding deposit by card through Stripe, and the room is held for you at once.

An AI assistant on your side

What the law gives you
Rolling tenancy
Every tenancy is periodic. No fixed term and no end date: you stay until you decide to leave or there is a legal reason to end it.
Leave with 2 months' notice
Give at least two months' notice in writing, ending on a rent day. Section 21 "no fault" evictions no longer exist.
Rent goes up once a year at most
Only with a Form 4A notice two months before, and never above market rent. You can challenge it at the First-tier Tribunal.
The price you see is the price
No bidding. We cannot accept or ask for more than the advertised rent.
You can ask to keep a pet
We look at every request and answer in writing. A refusal must have a reason.
One week to hold, five weeks of deposit
Holding deposit of one week's rent, taken off your first month. Security deposit up to five weeks, protected in a government scheme.
