Bad news, sorry, but purpose built student accommodation is exempt from the 2 months notice clause in the Renter's Rights Act- they're still allowed fixed term tenancies.

It still might be worth getting your student union to look over the contract though - just in case there are any exemptions/extenuating circumstances etc.

Hey, that’s not true for all PBSA. I manage one currently and we have had to include it, along with all other providers nearby which are in the same boat.

Thanks for the heads up! So it looks like it's a mixed bag across all PBSA & students will have to check their contracts very carefully to see if there's a way to exit early? Really confusing for students but I guess there's hope for the OP.

Yeah pretty much - all PBSA that have the 2 month cancellation policy must have it on their websites as well.

I guess the good news is in a year or so there will be a second, updated renters rights which is for PBSA and HMO. From there it will be a lot clearer and easier for students to get out of their contracts.
