Private Accommodation Guidance —
Rent Safely, Without Getting Scammed
Guidance finding, vetting, and securing private rental housing safely — built around avoiding the scams that specifically target international students.
What Does Private Accommodation Guidance Cover?
Private rentals offer more flexibility and often more space than university hostels, but the search involves risks international students face more acutely — rental scams, unfair lease terms, and unfamiliarity with local tenant rights.
This service covers finding legitimate listings, evaluating them properly, and understanding lease terms before you sign anything or send a deposit.
Edufly checks listings and landlords against known red flags in each specific city, and reviews lease terms with you before you commit.
- A shortlist of legitimate private rental listings matched to your budget
- Verification of landlord and listing legitimacy
- Lease term review before you sign anything
- Guidance on local tenant rights and deposit protections
Rental scams targeting international students are common — we verify legitimacy before any money changes hands.
