Ia incercati sa inchiriati un apartament cu o viza legala de student in UK ! 
The government is building a network of spies to make immigrants’ lives impossible. Just try renting a house on a valid student visa after the latest proposals go through.
In the last four years, I have applied for three different types of visas and changed flats four times in the UK. Neither are prospects I ever look forward to. The last time I was searching for a flat was just a few months ago. I saw a cosy flat in Wapping and, walking around the canal and the pretty cobbled streets, decided to put down the "offer money". The landlord refused the offer on the grounds that I was on a student visa (I wasn’t – I was on a post-study work visa, but not many people know the difference). I knew at the time that my housing and visa woes were not over.
So when I found another flat that I liked, I explained to the agents that I only had three months left on my current visa but was soon going to apply for a work visa sponsored by my employer. Luckily, I have a permanent job with a well-known employer and the agents accepted my explanation as a convincing one. But it was only that – luck. The agents could have just as easily rejected my explanation.
