Information for landlords

We have an online database of registered private sector properties. If you have a property that you think would be suitable for our students (or staff) and you would like to register it, further information is below.

Private sector properties

Entire properties - either shared and/or self contained - for rent by groups or on a per room basis. These include houses, flats, apartments and bedsits. View our database of properties.

Private halls of residence

We class any property with over 25 rooms as a hall of residence. There is a separate registration form for halls of residences (PDF, 138KB) . Any hall of residence where we do not allocate 100% of the bed spaces can register on our private sector database.

Homestay properties

We have a separate database for homestay properties . These include accommodation where the landlord lives at the property – such as host families, lodgings, spare rooms for rent, bed and breakfasts and guest houses.

Requirements

Properties and landlords that wish to be included on the Sheffield Hallam University private sector database must be registered with the Sheffield City Council's Responsible Landlord Scheme. Responsible Landlord Scheme status is not needed by homestay properties.

Registration forms

Registration renewals

Approximately one month before a registration is about to expire, you will receive an automated letter stating which property is about to expire and the expiry date. If you wish to re-register the property, please complete a new registration form and return it to Accommodation Services with the relevant payment (details below).

Payment

The cost for each type of property registration is included on the registration form. The payment will register the property with the University for one year from the date it is added to the database. Accommodation Services can only accept payment by the following methods.

Cash – you can pay in cash at the Accommodation Services office at the address below. We would not advise putting cash payments in the post.
Credit/debit card – all card payments can be completed on the downloadable card mandate form and returned with registration forms. For any queries call 0114 225 4504.
