The UK Renters’ Rights Act 2025: Implications for Student Accommodation Providers and Institutional Rental Housing Investors

Short summary

The UK Renters' Rights Act 2025 abolishes assured shorthold tenancies and section 21 'no fault' evictions, replacing them with a periodic tenancy regime that significantly impacts institutional rental housing investors and PBSA operators. PBSA providers secured a sector-specific exemption allowing fixed-term tenancies outside the assured tenancy regime, provided they meet prescribed criteria including membership of an approved Code of Practice. Institutional investors face increased operational complexity, compliance burden, and revenue forecasting uncertainty under the new rent challenge mechanisms and tenant protections.
