For many people, starting university can also mean the first experience of living away from home and all of the responsibilities that come with it. That’s why, when it comes to first time digs, many students opt for Student Accommodation Leicester Bills Included.
The great thing about having your own place is the sense of freedom that it brings. However, it also means dealing with added extras that haven’t been on the radar before, such as setting house rules and paying bills. And any help finding your feet with it, to start with, is often much appreciated.
At Westmanor Student Living, we think it’s always a good idea to establish house rules among the people you’re sharing with, such as washing up/ cooking/ cleaning rotas and bathroom usage, as soon as possible. It’s a great way to avoid disputes further down the line.
And an excellent way to ensure energy and water bills are paid is by having them included in the rent, which will reduce the worry of how much they will be or when they’ll arrive.
In an ideal world, student accommodation in Leicester would be a stone’s throw from your campus, so you can have an extra half an hour in bed; all bedrooms would have en-suite bathrooms so no waits for the shower; and all your bills would be included in your rent. This way you wouldn’t have the hassle of chasing up your housemates for payment or organising separate direct debits for your water, gas, electricity and internet.
A top tip to getting all of the above is by picking accommodation early and finding the best property for your needs. And if you are looking for student accommodation in Leicester with all of your bills included we have many properties available to suit your requirements.

The benefits of having your bills included in rent
Having bills included allows you to budget better because you don’t have an unknown cost looming above your head. It also helps to alleviate the potential stress that budgeting entails. So, what else?
Less hassle! With busy weeks full of lectures, uni work, jobs and social commitments, the last thing you want to do is have the stress of the admin involved in arranging separate bills for gas, electricity, water and internet.
Saves arguments! Someone owes someone money, but someone had guests over three nights this week so they should pay extra and someone else has three daily showers and their TV on all day so they should pay more … blah, blah, blah.
Living with people isn’t easy. Having bills included in your rent removes the catalyst for so many arguments! And:
There’s no need to open joint bank accounts – or mess around doing bank transfers, or owing people money, or not getting the money that you’re owed.
There’s less worry about that extra five minutes in the shower! Energy limits do apply, but they are more than sufficient to ensure that a long luxurious soak is a guilt free pleasure.
Have friends to stay when you like – because, as long as your housemates are happy with additional guests in their home, there’s no need to worry about visitors contributing to bills etc.
