Student Landlords Face Ground 4A Possession Deadline

The upcoming academic year will be the first test of new possession rules for student landlords, following changes introduced under the Renters' Rights Act. According to PropertyWire, landlords who missed transitional deadlines are unlikely to obtain possession under Ground 4A during the remaining 2026 window.

Letting agents and inventory clerks should be aware of these changes, as they may impact possession proceedings for student tenancies. The report highlights the importance of compliance with the new rules for those managing student properties.
