As energy prices are increasing, please ensure that you are mindful of your energy usage,
and any caps or fair usage policy you may have in your tenancy agreement. Talk to your
landlord, and check your energy usage now to enable you to try to manage it for the duration
of your tenancy. Make sure you budget for any excess payments required.

May 2022 - Choosing the right student house
When house-hunting, you may sometimes come across online scammers trying to trick
would-be tenants into paying up-front fees for a property that doesn't exist.
The University’s Housing Office advise you not to make any payments or sign any
contracts until you have viewed the property and made sure that it is suitable for your
needs. It also recommends that if you are looking for a house, you start your search on
the University's Studentpad website www.bangorstudentpad.co.uk. Landlords have to
agree to compulsory Conditions of Registration before advertising - visit the website for
more information.
If you need any advice, contact the Housing Office on studenthousing@bangor.ac.uk
