A studio is similar to a flat but more basic in the following important respect. The bedroom, lounge and kitchen (or kitchenette) are all one room. However a studio, just like a flat, will also include a separate bathroom/shower room, and a W.C. If you live in a studio you will have your own secure front door with its own key. However you will share with other occupants of the building certain areas and facilities. These would include a main entrance door from the street, a communal hall, stairs and/or lift linking the various floors of the building. You may have your own personal parking space for your car, but not always. Often off the road parking is on a "first come, first served" basis. Sometimes there may be no off the road parking, so will have to find a suitable space in the street outside. Is a studio the right choice for me? If you rent a studio you will almost certainly have to sign a tenancy agreement for a minimum period of 6 months. If you intend to stay in the area for less than 6 months or if you want the freedom to move around during your stay, renting a studio could be the wrong choice. A better choice might be to rent a room. If you rent a studio you will normally not only have to pay rent, but also utility bills such as gas, electricity, telephone, internet and council tax. When you calculate your monthly expenditure you should take these additional expenses into account. A cheaper choice might be to rent a room. There is however one major advantage to renting a studio as compared with renting a room. You can feel secure in the knowledge that for the duration of the tenancy the landlord cannot ask you to leave unless you have misbehaved thereby breaking one of the conditions of your tenancy agreement. The studio is yours to enjoy without any interference of any kind from the landlord. Renting a Studio - Yes or No?
