| Comment | > as every owner is looking for a whole year starting from September
Since 2017, by law leases have no minimum/maximum period, and run month-to-month. The owner can look for whatever they want, but they can't legally tie you to it. Just tell them what they want to hear, sign the lease, then give notice after 4 months.

Private rentals can be tricky if you don't have a UK guarantor, though. |
