As the Renters’ Rights Bill nears approval, an important amendment may exempt Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) from certain reforms, like ending fixed terms and Section 21 notices, if operators follow an approved code of practice.

This could encourage landlords to adopt PBSA models, offer portfolio restructuring opportunities, and help avoid unintended impacts from the new law. PBSA contracts differ significantly from traditional ASTs in tenancy length, eviction processes, tenant rights, and rent structures.

With student lets playing a key role in the rental market, it’s vital for landlords and agents to understand these changes. Download our infosheet for clear guidance on PBSA and staying compliant.

EPC upgrades aren’t a free pass to hike rents, say MPs.

Recent concerns highlight that some landlords are using energy efficiency improvements—especially those grant-funded—as justification for unreasonable rent increases. The focus isn’t just on whether properties meet MEES, but how that compliance is achieved.

Currently, landlords must ensure properties have an EPC rating of at least E. Exemptions must be formally registered, and rent increases linked to grant-funded improvements are under scrutiny. Enforcement is active.

With the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill expected to tighten these rules further, letting agents play a crucial role in helping landlords navigate both current and future compliance.

Our Energy Essentials: MEES infosheet breaks down what’s required, what’s enforceable, and how agents can support landlords responsibly.
