How do people usually arrange a private room flatshare (no agency costs involved)?
I can't see any situation where I would bank transfer money to the other party before actually going to live there and i'm pretty sure the other party would want assurance that I will actually live there...

I imagine you pay by cash

As a landlady I take a small deposit...say £50 ..deductible from rent on arrival...forfeited if no show..this then shows comitment from prospective renter and is not too much to lose if a scam!

Hey guys, I am looking for options for renting an apartment this summer while I am interning in London. Anything you'd recommend? I'd want something with a gym/pool either around or within the apartment building. Will be working in Canary Wharf so probably looking around East London.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

We have a lovely double room available for the summer just a 5min walk from Canary Wharf!

A fellow summer intern here. I start at the end of June and finish in September. I am not from London and
am puzzled about renting a place for a couple of months. How do people manage that remotely? I'd prefer to
live with random people because all official accommodation is just so expensive and am not very needy.

Any pointers?

Airbnb. Plenty of offers in London, any area of your interest, generally good looking, decent flats with cool people, also cheaper than any kind of overpriced student halls.
Do try to sign the contract with your landlord for those 10 weeks, you'll save 10% or so on Airbnb fee.
