Help! Need a shared flat for 18 yr old Edinburgh student - male, going into seconds year. He’s just been stitched up like a kipper by friend that strung him along all summer and now says he wants to live at home. I’m SO cross with this friend- to let ds do all the running and each time ds finds something the friend comes up with an excuse .
any hints or help very welcome. Staying at home not really an option due to various stuff. Thank you

citylets website and there's some accommodation groups on facebook for flat shares
let every other friend he has in the city know he's looking for a room too so they can keep an ear out for anything

Try domus and spareroom plus meadow share and parents of Edinburgh uni students Facebook sites.

Gah, poor child. DD had a similar wannabe roommate who then pulled out, but thankfully she got another place just before end of term.
Has he contacted the uni accommodation office? They'll have letting agents details, and may have others in this situation. Are there any vacancies in halls as a RA?
