PBSA providers that are members of the ANUK/Unipol National Code for Larger Developments for Non-Educational Establishments have been given a specific exemption from the majority of the changes under the Renters’’ Rights Act. The main areas that you need to be aware of are:

  • Accommodation providers can use a Common Law Tenancy agreement (CLT) – this is a type of agreement that members of the ANUK/Unipol National Codes are able to use after 1st May 2026 and allows them to offer a fixed term tenancy.
  • They are exempt from other areas such as the Landlord Database, Ombudsman membership, and other specifics such as allowing requests for pets.
