There are many houses for students to rent in Portsmouth. The University's Student Housing runs a registration scheme for local landlords to advertise their properties to students at www.portsmouthstudentpad.co.uk, where you can easily search for your Student Housing-registered private shared houses/flats and lodgings.
Download and print out a copy of the Student Housing 'House Hunting Checklist' before you go searching for your new home, so you can make notes as you go along, as well as prompting you to ask the landlord or current tenants key questions while you’re looking round? Click here to download a copy or feel free to pop into the Student Housing office to pick some up.
You can also download a copy of our handy 'House hunting in Portsmouth' booklet here too or, pick up a useful, pocket-sized version from the Student Housing office.
