If you’re looking to rent privately in Brighton and the surrounding areas rather than live in halls, we’re here to help.

Need a guarantor? 

Many private accommodation providers require students to have a UK-based guarantor when signing a tenancy agreement. If you don’t have access to a suitable guarantor, the University of Brighton has partnered with Housing Hand, a specialist guarantor service that supports both UK and international students.
