Help? - SA LDN , where to stay as underprivileged student
So I managed to land a banking internship in London this summer. Coming from a really poor area, I've been grinding hard to get here, but now I'm hitting a wall with housing.
The thing is, I can afford to pay rent monthly, but everywhere I look for short-term lets, they want the whole amount upfront, which I just don't have right now. The bank doesn't offer any relocation help, and I don't know anyone in London I could crash with; nobody in my circle has taken this path.
I'm starting to stress because without sorting accommodation, I might have to give up this opportunity. Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe places that don't need everything paid upfront? Or any programs that help people in my situation?
Bumping with more info - have looked at Spareroom, but most sublets ask for the full amount too. Should I risk it with a dodgy ad or try AirBnB until first payday and move?
Ask university for help, perhaps a loan?
Ask the university for a loan or just help?
I have looked at loans but that is really my last option and not sure I can be approved unless it’s dodgy and something like 100% + APR.
Check out LHA London, the only thing I had to pay upfront is one week’s rent as a deposit and the rest is taken weekly when you arrive. It seems marketed to summer interns and recent grads
Will check them out, thanks for the help
Bump - good luck!
