I have a question about Housing or Accommodation (Renters Rights
Changes to Housing Law likely to effect students
The information provided online and through our AskSU chatbot is based on current housing law.
The Renters Rights Act has been passed and is due to be implemented from May 2026. This new legislation will substantially change the current tenancy agreement system and may provide additional options for ending your tenancy agreement early once it is in place, however some types of student accommodation will be exempt from the new rules.
We strongly advise reaching out to the Advice Service via our Ask Us form: Ask US | Hallam SU Advice and see further details on the government site: Guide to the Renters’ Rights Bill - GOV.UK
