Postgrad student in Belfast struggling to find housing before hostel contract ends in September — any advice?

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out on behalf of my sister, who is currently a postgraduate student in Belfast. Her hostel accommodation agreement ends in September, and she's been actively searching for a new place to rent since then. Despite viewing several properties, she hasn't been selected by any landlords or agencies yet, and the process has been incredibly stressful for her — especially while also juggling a part-time job alongside her studies.

She isn't a UK citizen, and she does have a guarantor lined up, but she's still not having luck getting selected. Not sure if it's the competition, something about the application, or something else landlords are looking for.

If anyone has experience with:

Renting as an international student in Belfast

What landlords/agencies typically want to see from applicants with a guarantor

Student-specific housing groups or Facebook pages for Belfast

General tips on standing out in a competitive rental market

...we'd really appreciate any pointers. Even small tips or links to helpful resources would mean a lot right now.

Thank you so much in advance!

It's long, but please someone help me out.

I don't know if this is witchcraft or blackmagic or if they have a difference between them. I wanted to share something personal. And I hope you can help me out with this.

I live in a family where they believe in black magic.

I have been going through a lot since childhood so has my sister. We have grown up watching our parents not speak to each other. The only interaction they would have together would be my dad hitting mom Or shouting at her.

He had been in a relationship with a married woman from his twenties and still is. She doesn't have a husband now probably been two decades.

My aunt and grandpa and grandma have always supported dad with this, they(that woman and dad's parents) in fact even used to meet in secret in the house while my mom used to be busy in household work while being pregnant.

My aunt has softened up a bit now I think she realises she only has us to take care of her.

She says that the woman probably did black magic on my dad and has continued to do so.

(My grandma and my aunt herself would do it on dad before my grandma died)

Me, my sister and mother have always felt like a burden to him. Like for every little thing that I ask him, I take days to prepare(when I need to buy something). Then he'll ask me a lot of questions and also complain after paying for it.

He's almost every time in a bad mood whenever he's at home. Trying to have a proper conversation with him is like testing his patience or he just starts shouting. This happens with mom mostly.

And whenever she's around and he's talking to me or anyone else, he'll just stop. He's going to literally pause and act like he doesn't want her there.

I too feel like the mistress has been continuously doing something to keep him detached.

He has never taken mom outside with himself almost like he CANNOT be seen outside with her.

He prefers not to be in the same room as her.

If in front of other people, he'll still not talk to her. He rather calls my aunt for something or speaks to her. Or me.

He doesn't wish us on our birthdays, tries to forget it so that he doesn't have to buy us something. He remembers every little purchase he makes for us.

My sister studies abroad and he doesn't even send her enough money on time so that she can eat well and keep healthy.

His income tax advocate, is a bit backward minded and believes in these ascetics who do rituals for someone by taking a lot of money. And has convinced my dad to do the same. He was asking for our photos so that he can provide that to the ascetics. I'm completely against it as I don't want that to be done.

It is almost like whatever someone at home says he can't hear it. But the moment someone from outside says something, he's so into that.

This advocate man as well, I have a feeling he has done something to my dad aswell. I've seen him go up the ladder in life ever since he came in touch with my dad.

Why is my dad so detached. Because he's the only provider for us.

I'm not asking for spells or rituals but just generally asking how do I help this situation.

Care package from India to Belfast (UK) – customs and food rules help?

Hey everyone, sending a package via India Post to my sister in Belfast with skincare, vitamins, and snacks. I need advice on a few things before filling out the CN 22:

Dairy: She wants condensed milk, milk powder, ghee, and homemade achaar (which is pretty dry/not watery). Are these allowed, or will UK customs confiscate the box due to dairy or oil restrictions?

Combined Snacks: To save space, I opened a packet of chips, poured another packet inside, and resealed it myself. Will customs reject this as a tampered item?
