The Renters’ Rights Act will reshape the expectations of residents in the private rented and student accommodation sectors. This fast-paced session will focus on advice for student accommodation providers to get ready for the changes which will take effect in the student lettings sector soon.

Our speakers Sarah Cummins and Nikki Basin will discuss in detail how the reforms will apply to student lettings, including the exemptions for providers signed up to an approved code, the grounds for possession which will apply to student lettings, and the use of licence agreements. We will discuss in detail how existing tenancies will be affected and what you need to do about this. You can expect clear practical advice on steps to take to navigate the transition to new-style tenancies.

If you lead operations, property management, compliance or policy for a student accommodation provider, this session is for you. You’ll hear how to minimise legal risks arising from the Renters’ Rights Act, and practical advice on how the new law will affect the management of student accommodation.

The session will take place online via Zoom with details provided 1 week prior.
