A New Academic Year: Lessons for the Private Rented Sector

September marks the beginning of a new academic year, bringing with it structure, renewal, and a sense of preparation. Pupils arrive with timetables, teachers with lesson plans, and educational establishments with strategies designed to ensure success.

The Private Rented Sector (PRS) can draw strong parallels with this process – particularly as it prepares for the most significant legislative reform in decades: the Renters’ Rights Act.

With the abolition of Section 21, a new type of tenancy, and strengthened compliance, landlords and letting agents cannot afford to be reactive. As with education, success will depend on foresight, organisation, and adapting.
