Keele SU is hosting a Housing Fair on Tuesday 30th January 2024 between 11 am - 5 pm in the Ballroom.
Keele SU Housing Fairs are organised each year for students looking for properties and for landlords who want to showcase the properties they have. All landlords have had their tenancy agreements checked by advisers from Advice & Support at Keele SU (ASK), however Keele SU will have no control over the contract you ultimately sign - it is your responsibility to understand what you're signing up to. Please read our full Disclaimer.
You are welcome to email a copy of the tenancy agreement to su.ask@keele.ac.uk for checking or if you have any questions before you sign.
