Best Answer

Under UK law, you may be able to find a private landlord willing to offer a short-term rental. Landlords are required to make a right-to-rent check, verifying an individual's status in the country. Under such circumstances, they're likely to require full payment for the entirety of the rental, as well as a security deposit (an amount equal to one or more month's rent).
