A Right to Rent check is a legal requirement in England to ensure all tenants have the legal right to live in the UK. Before moving in, you’ll need to provide original identification documents such as a passport, visa, or digital immigration share code.

 

I’m an international student — what does this mean for me?

If you’re coming from outside the UK, don’t worry! A Right to Rent check is just a standard verification that allows you to live in the UK while you study. You’ll need to show your passport and visa or your UK immigration status via the government’s online system. It’s quick, simple, and won’t affect your studies

When can I move in?

Move-in dates vary by property but typically our tenancies start on 1st July, however if the property is undergoing refurbishment it may be later. We’ll provide the exact date when you enquire about a specific property.

All rooms are furnished, but you may want to bring personal items such as bedding, towels, and any other home comforts.

Do you support the Zero Deposit Scheme?

Yes - at Nexa Living we offer the Zero Deposit Guarantee as an alternative to a traditional deposit.

Moving into your new home is exciting but we understand it can get expensive. A Zero Deposit Guarantee lets you move in by paying a fee equal to one week’s rent, instead of a full deposit. That means less upfront cost and more money in your pocket.

Pay less upfront: Just one week’s rent instead of a full deposit.

More choice: A flexible alternative to traditional deposits.

Greater freedom: No need to fund two deposits when switching homes.

Less cost. Less Stress. More Freedom.
