Accommodation
From flats to share with friends or your own apartment...
Glasgow is a city of some 80,000 students so there is a lot of accommodation available. If you are interested in renting a flat or a room in the private sector, you will find the Private Accommodation Database (PAD) a good place to start.
PAD has been set up by Glasgow's Higher Education institutions to help you find a suitable and secure place in which to live, in good and tenantable conditions. It is aimed at students who are considering renting flats, houses, rooms and bedsits in the private sector, where the accommodation is rented directly from the owner or his/her agent and where the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland has no direct control over the agreement.
In the interest of student safety, accommodation is not registered with
PAD unless the landlord has confirmed that it conforms to the standards required
to meet the
PAD Safety Guidelines. From 1st May 2013 those landlords who issue SAT
(Short Assured Tenancy) agreements will be legally obligated to provide tenants with a
Tenant
Information Pack
