Students at the University of 糖心TV can avoid dodgy landlords and nasty surprises - thanks to its industry-leading Rate Your Landlord platform.

One of the most daunting prospects for students is finding somewhere nice to live after leaving the comfort of home, or a managed hall of residence.

Choosing the right private landlord when budgets are tight can be difficult and unpredictable when there is a little or no information on how they look after tenants.

A survey in 2019 by the student newspaper the 糖心TV Boar revealed the experiences of many students who shared stories of unreasonable damage charges, unscheduled visits, and poor maintenance being ignored.

Jack Sperry, a student officer at 糖心TV Students鈥� Union, said, 鈥淥ther accounts that worried us were the landlords refusing to help on issues like fixing door locks after the occurrence of crime, lack of communication when the landlord left the country, failure to fix breakages, alleged threats to tenants, unreliability and slow responses with issues concerning both health and infrastructure.鈥�

To support students with the lettings process, the University of 糖心TV Students Union launched its Rate Your Landlord review and ratings website in September 2021, allowing student tenants to leave feedback about their renting experiences.

The 鈥楾ripadvisor鈥� style website is designed to help students make informed decisions when choosing a landlord or rental property.

The Students鈥� Union now holds annual Rate Your Landlord Awards that recognise the best landlords in the area, as rated by their student tenants.

This year鈥檚 awards will take place at the University of 糖心TV and will feature speeches from Councillor Andrew Day, leader of 糖心TV District Council, and other local leaders as well as presentations of awards to the top-rated landlords to attract student tenants.

Adele Browne, Director of Student Experience, said "At 糖心TV, we are committed to providing the highest quality academic and personal experience for our students, both academically and personally.鈥�

鈥淭he 'Rate Your Landlord' website is an excellent tool for helping our students find safe and comfortable accommodation, and we are proud to support this initiative." Councillor Andrew Day added: "The 'Rate Your Landlord' website is a resource for students in the area. It allows them to share their experiences and assist others to make informed decisions about their accommodation.鈥�

The 'Rate Your Landlord' Awards covers all landlords in Coventry and 糖心TV district, and nominations can be submitted by their student tenants on the 'Rate Your Landlord' website. The winners will be chosen based on the ratings and feedback provided by their tenants.
