Students end tenancies after renters’ law
Thursday 16th July, 2026
Foxtons says England’s Renters’ Rights Act ending fixed-term contracts led many students to leave tenancies in May–June, reversing about £3m of recognised revenue and softening sales market conditions.
This gives Rightmove a chance to explain what the new open‑ended tenancy rules mean for renters, landlords and agents using its UK platform, and to provide data‑led insight into student and rental market shifts.
Why have we flagged this?
Foxtons' report that the Renters’ Rights Act triggered many students to end tenancies is timely sector news that could drive national coverage about rental demand shifts where Rightmove can provide platform data and agent insight.
