Can I share an apartment with friends or family?

Yes. You can apply to share an apartment with friends, family or a partner, provided it is suitable for the household & the relevant tenancy checks can be completed.

Our apartments range from studios to three-bedroom homes. Sharing arrangements must comply with the permitted occupancy of the exact property, including any licensing rules that apply.

Before applying together

• Tell us who will live in the apartment & who will be a named tenant.
• Check that the layout provides enough appropriate living space.
• Prepare the required identification & referencing documents for each tenant.
• Understand how responsibility for rent works under a joint tenancy.
• Agree how you will divide household bills & other shared costs.

Our standard affordability policy requires combined annual household income of at least 2.5 times the annual rent. Eligible income from joint applicants can be considered together.

Short visits by friends or family are different from adding someone who will live there permanently. If your household changes after moving in, tell us so we can review the position.
