Renters Reform Bill threatens student housing market.
Landlords have warned that the Renters Reform Bill, which proposes to abolish fixed-term tenancies in England, would "decimate" the student housing market. The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) said a lack of certainty properties would be available at the start of the academic year could cause "chaos". However, the National Union of Students said if students were exempt from reforms they would become an "underclass". The government said it was engaging with students and landlords.
