Renters Right Act
Whether you are currently living in rented accommodation, or plan to move into rented accommodation in 2026, there are some changes to legislation that you need to know about.
These changes, coming into effect on May 1 2026, will affect how you rent private student accommodation. It's important that you understand these changes as they could impact your living and financial situation. They will apply if you choose to rent a private house, flat or room in a private hall in the future.
Where can I find information on the changes?
Liverpool Student Homes has compiled a useful guide to these upcoming changes, including an overview of what will change and how it will impact your individual circumstances, whether you are living in a flat or house share, private halls or any rented accommodation with a License Agreement.
It's important that you familiarise yourself with the changes taking place so that you can take the right actions for your personal circumstances.
