Summary

We believe Student HMO’s should be exempt from the Renter’s Rights Act 2025 as these properties are run on a totally different business/rental model compared to professional and private rentals. In our view Student HMO’s are a totally different entity to professional HMO’s. For example, if a professional leaves a HMO, you will re-rent the room easily. However, if a student leaves mid year we think the landlord is very unlikely to find a replacement student tenant as students plan their accommodation ahead of time, and often choose a house with their friendship group for the academic year. We think the changes brought in by the Act will make life for student landlords like myself extremely unpredictable and financially unstable and in turn, leaves student accommodation in an extremely vulnerable position
