Being a Landlord to RAU Students
The University will act only as an advertising medium to assist students to find off campus accommodation. Advertising is purely through this website and we do not allow paper adverts on University notice boards or e-mails circulated to advertise rental properties.
We work closely with Cotswold District Council and support their new “Fit to Rent” scheme. Your property must have this accreditation before we can advertise it. For information on how to join up –
