Become an accredited landlord with us and we’ll help you fill your rooms.<\/p>\n

Landlords can apply to join the Landlord Accreditation Scheme, which was designed by Chichester and Arun District Councils to give professional, reliable landlords the credit they deserve. As part of the Scheme, landlord properties can benefit from free website advertising, on the Council website.<\/p>\n

We only advertise accredited properties on the university accommodation website.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, students can choose a\u00a0Homestay option, where they can live and eat as part of a family, or live in a Private Home, whereby they rent a private room and share other facilities, like the kitchen and bathroom, with their landlord.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tBecome a homestay host\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tOpen your home to a student\n\t<\/h3>\n

A host family is at the heart of the homestay experience. Homestay is more than just renting out a spare room. Hosts open their homes to students from around the world and welcome them into their family. The most important part of being a host is the ability to provide a supportive, welcoming and caring environment.<\/p>\n

When students and teachers stay in the UK they wish to experience our traditions, values and culture while improving their English speaking skills. Our Homestay guests are mainly teaching students or academics working within the education sector who have come to Chichester to take part in a short course. You can help and support a student develop their confidence and language abilities while they study with us.<\/p>\n
