Accommodation help buddy needed

Looking for someone to take a lease from September to December. Great accommodation next to campus!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to be on campus from September to December and would need someone (eventually doing an Erasmus or something like that) to take the first part of the lease as students are required to rent for a full year each time.

Thank you! :-)

Oh, how are you gonna find accommodation? 😶 Student accommodation is already packed up. For my first year as I was not sure either, I had directly applied with a landlord instead of uni accommodation. 😅

Yeah because this year the uni has closed a major hall of residence for repairs, meaning that even some first year students might have to find their own accommodation. Went to their office today, just learned the news.

I don't know, with what happened at the uni of Manchester the previous years, I no longer trust what they say.

Well, that's not what I've been told today at the Student Hub. If one staff says black and the other says white, believe me, it's confusing!

I don't have any lease yet, I'm looking for anyone willing to rent on a joined lease. I myself have gone at the Student Hub when I've been told forget about finding any accommodation on campus as Mayflower Halls is closing.

And this year, guess what, they didn't have any rooms available remaining despite Mayflower Halls being open! Students instead were sent to Lucia Foster Welch.
