Hi there
Whilst this is not classed as a shorthold tenancy you should get a contract to protect you and also to provide evidence of rent etc should you later need to take action in a small claims court.
There are many sources of this type of rental agreement, one is http://www.clickdocs.co.uk/rent-a-room-e.
As to the "how much", it really depends where the house is, for example city and town centres usually command more rent, especially in London. Also if you are near public transport or have other good local facilities and services. The actual rent in south east UK could be anywhere from under £50 pw to £100s pw for a luxury place in some parts of London.
There are many places to find info on how much rent for your area, sites such as http://www.spareroom.co.uk/ . take a look to see how much rooms are renting for.
When you do some to place an ad I would not pay a penny in commission to anyone, try out all of the free sites, one is http://www.simple2rent.co.uk You should also place ads in local supermarkets and local shops.
Finally, when renting a room take care, check the person out, references are important, and also that you will be able to get along with them.
Good luck.
i've no idea about rent in that part of England, but you should always have a shorthold tenancy agreement with a break clause after 6 months which lets you get out of the agreement without being liable for the rest of the rent. also if you're renting with other people make sure if possible that you're not liable for their rent if they don't pay and that you're only responsible for paying your rent and your share of the bills.
Rent is very expensive here in the South - you'll need 1 month's rent up front PLUS 1 month's rent as a deposit. You should reckon on a minimum of £1000.00
Contact estate agents local to the area you want to rent out in. Also, check in the local papers - The South of England is a pretty big place when it comes to setting rents. You also need to think about other local amenities which vary from location to location.
Don't technically need a contract as it will be assumed to be a verbal agreement but it's a very good idea to have one. However, if you are living in the same property as the room you are renting out, you are classed as a Resident Landlord and will not be covered by the Housing Act 1984 as this does not cover this classification so be careful with your clauses.
short term contract and rent for room only would be about 50 per week.
