Students have reacted positively to greater flexibility over leaving tenancies under the Renters' Rights Act, according to BBC News. Student landlords, however, say the changes have created challenges and could contribute to higher rents.
BBC News reports that the Act gives students greater flexibility to leave a tenancy. The report says students have welcomed the new tenancy freedoms, putting their response at odds with concerns raised by landlords.
The same report says the changes have posed challenges for student landlords. Landlords warn that they could lead to higher rents, although the supplied reporting does not establish that rents have already increased.
