Student accommodation

Student accommodation requires advice that reflects the provider, the building and the occupation arrangements.

Waymakers supports providers and managing agents dealing with purpose-built student accommodation and student houses. Advice covers students who remain in occupation, possession disputes, rent arrears, disrepair allegations, contractual breaches and access issues.

Support also extends to contractual documentation and regulatory matters affecting the management of student accommodation.

Waymakers considers the legal status of the accommodation and provider, the agreement in place and the relevant framework before advising on the available options. The academic timetable and the practical consequences for incoming students form part of that assessment.
