    Hi, I was wondering if you were ever asked to provide your passport information when signing a contract for private student accommodations? As it’s sensitive information, I was wondering why a landlord would need it when signing your contract for a private student accommodation.

      Hello, yes if I can recall correctly, they requested a copy of my ID, proof of address and emergency contact information etc. As an international student, I didn't have any UK ID, so I either sent my passport or my drivers licence, I can't remember which one. I am not 100% sure but I think they ask for these documents/information so they can draw up the lease agreement with the tenants full legal name. Remember this all ties in when an international student needs to open a bank account in UK as you will have to provide information such as proof of address and all (I made a video about opening a UK bank account as well). It's good for your name to match all your documents.
      Hope my comment helps you.

      Hello, thanks for your comment. If you are a student looking to live in a place that primarily caters to professionals (people with work/job), it may be difficult to find something like that as having a job will be a requirement. Like I explained in this video, most times, landlords of these places will require partial upfront payment of 6months or the full 1year rent from students before they are given a spot. But there is university and student housing available for all students.
      For more information about University of Birmingham guide for students working during their time as international students, please see the university link here for all detailed information such as how many hours of work per week is the max and all other information (intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/international/current/working-in-the-uk/working.aspx#:~:text=20%20hours%20per%20week%20during,at%20least%2016%20years%20old.) I encourage you to read the helpful information from there.
      In terms of expenses, it honestly depends on your budget as an individual, I think it depends on what you are looking for. There are affordable and also expensive things.
      Hope this helps.
