Student landlords and letting agents are being encouraged to prepare for the practical impact of the Renters' Rights Act ahead of their 2027 lettings. This call comes as the sector faces key decisions related to the new legislation.
B-Informed is hosting The Future of Student Lettings Conference in London on 21st October. The event will focus on practical choices and their consequences for student landlords.
Topics for discussion include whether to continue with joint tenancies or move to room-by-room letting, procedures when one student gives notice but others wish to remain, and how landlords should approach Ground 4A when signing up students for the next academic year. The conference will also consider new restrictions on rent in advance and options for overseas students without a UK guarantor.
Peter Littlewood of B-Informed stated that student landlords have important decisions to make before the 2027 letting cycle.
