In short: Studios are popular with single renters because they cut costs, but quality varies a lot. Check the floor area, kitchen and storage, natural light, noise, and whether bills or council tax are included. Value is usually better in zones 2–4 near fast transport than in central London. Have ID, right to rent documents, references and proof of income ready so you can apply the same day. Deposits are capped at five weeks' rent, and holding deposits at one week. Under the Renters' Rights Act, landlords can't take more than one month's rent in advance.
