ACCESSIBILITY
If you'd like this information in another format or if you have any questions about accessibility then please contact us via email at: homeswithoutlandlords[at]gmail[dot]com. At this stage of development, the house is not accessible to wheelchair users but we try our best to accommodate disabilities, so please get in touch if you wish to discuss your access needs.
ABOUT THE CO-OP:
Birmingham Student Housing Co-Op was the UK’s first student housing co-operative when it launched in July 2014. It aims to create affordable housing for students run democratically by students.
You don't need any experience of co-ops to live here, just to be friendly, kind and willing to live together with open minded people who want to live cooperatively together without a traditional landlord.
TENANCY DETAILS:
Our standard tenancy is for 12 months.
We have multiple rooms available for immediate move-in and several available for 2025/26.
Rent is set democratically by all members, and subject to final confirmation, will be charged at £500.00/month for 2024/25 and includes all bills including internet and things like cleaning products and toilet roll! Rent for 2025/26 will be set in Summer 2025. Our finances are managed collaboratively and in complete transparency among all members.
All members are expected to clean up after themselves, regularly attend house meetings and be involved in communal cleaning. All tenants contribute about an hour a week to a working group, which looks after one aspect of the house's operation - finance, maintenance or outreach.
We ask potential members to visit the house for a viewing and to have a brief chat with the current members so we can find out a bit more about you. Please fill out the form below and we will contact you ASAP to arrange a viewing
