Renters’ Rights Bill: transforming how student lettings operate
For agents in England working with landlords in this specialist market, it is vital to understand the changes, the risks, and the opportunities ahead. Propertymark has been campaigning hard to ensure student housing is not undermined by reforms designed for the wider private rented sector (PRS). The loss of fixed terms is the single biggest risk for this market, and we continue to fight for workable solutions that protect the annual student lettings cycle.

Renters’ Rights Bill – key decisions to watch during the final stages
The Bill may face further amendments before final approval, which must be agreed to by both the Commons and the Lords. This process begins on 8 September, when the legislation could bounce between the two as the fine details are hammered out. For agents working to adapt, it’s a confusing time – so we’ve pulled together a round-up of the reforms, highlighting the areas that are still under discussion.
Proposed licensing schemes risk duplication and higher costs for compliant landlords
Hackney Council is consulting on plans to introduce two new five-year licensing schemes in the private rented sector (PRS) from early 2026, arguing that they will improve standards. Propertymark supports the aim of raising housing standards, but we strongly urge Hackney and other local authorities to rethink their approach. A healthy PRS is fundamental to meeting growing housing demand, and under-resourced licensing schemes too often end up penalising good landlords and agents while allowing poor practice to persist.
