Purpose of the National Codes
The National Codes establish a set of specific standards for larger student developments which have specific management requirements. The Codes reflects their specialist status as an important part of the student accommodation supply.
The purpose of the National Codes is to:
establish a framework of voluntary standards to support how member owners, managers and their occupants can do business with one another effectively and fairly; and
act in the best interests of students.
Code Standards
The Code standards have been developed to reflect a balance of common-sense obligations and responsibilities between the managers of larger student accommodation buildings and tenants.
The benchmark standards set out in the Codes have been designed so that managers can achieve compliance without significant expenditure of time and money and without prejudice to their respective legal rights.
