The Renters’ Rights Act is expected to introduce major changes to private renting from 1 May 2026.

Over the next few weeks we will be providing some in-depth information about what this means for you!

The changes apply to:

- Students renting privately

- Shared houses with 3 or more bedrooms (HMOs)

- Students with individual tenancies or joint tenancies

The changes do not apply to:

- ResLife accommodation, which uses licence agreements (not assured tenancies)

- Most Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) that follows the Unipol/ANUK Code, where contracts are typically common law tenancies

PBSA and ResLife will still be able to offer fixed term contracts tied to the academic year.
