How Landlords can deal with their Student Residents

Renting to students comes with some challenges for you as a Landlord.  It is prudent to remember these are young adults coming into the property world for the first time where many of them are learning as they go.

So, when letting to students it is possible you will meet with two types.

Type 1 – they will read the tenancy contract thoroughly making note of anything that could cause them to be in breach.

Type 2 – they won’t bother reading the tenancy agreement thoroughly and sign it anyway with no recollection of what could cause them to be in breach of their contract.

This is very important for you, as a Landlord, to know.  Because this is the first time a lot of students are renting they presume the contract is going to be similar to the one they signed for their ‘on campus’ accommodation, which can be quite lenient.
