Residential Tenancies (Rent Pressure Zones and Student Accommodation) (Amendment) Bill 2018

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Extends rent pressure zone rules to student accommodation during academic term time, so student housing would be covered by the same limits on rent increases that already apply in those zones. It matters because it would give student renters the same protection against sharp rent rises in high-pressure housing areas.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 (as amended by the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016) to extend rent pressure zone regulations to student accommodation.
