Important update:
On 27 October 2025, the Renters' Rights Bill received Royal Assent and became the Renters' Rights Act 2025. The Act introduces significant changes affecting both new and existing tenancy agreements.
Government guidance on the changes can be found online in the Guide to the Renters' Rights Bill.
An implementation date has not yet been confirmed, and our housing advice pages do not currently reflect the new legislation. If you have questions about your rights, please complete our Ask Us form to speak with an adviser.
A deposit is a sum of money paid by a tenant to a landlord or agent before moving into a rental property, serving as security against potential damages or unpaid rent during the tenancy.
Your rights in situations where your rented property is not adequately maintained, leading to issues such as structural problems, safety hazards, or essential amenities not functioning properly.
If you find yourself in a situation where you need to seek emergency housing, there are options available for you to explore to seek support.
Search for suitable accommodation options, such as on-campus dormitories, off-campus apartments, or shared housing, to ensure a comfortable and conducive living environment during your studies.
