How student letting agents can stay
compliant and in control
STUDENT TENANCY STRUCTURE CONTROLS
Protect your ability to regain possession in student HMOs
Set up student tenancies with the right structure and checks, so you don’t accidentally create risk you can’t unwind later.
- Clear visibility of tenancy composition
-
Guardrails during contract signing to
reduce avoidable mistakes -
Consistent records tied to the tenancy,
not scattered across inboxes
GROUND 4A WORKFLOW GUARDRAILS
Spot and avoid Ground 4A issues before you countersign
If a property is not student-only, or the contract is countersigned outside the permitted window, repossession under Ground 4A may not be available. Spot and avoid those pitfalls before they cost you.
- Be warned at the point of countersignature when the tenancy set up restricts Ground 4A use
- Feel confident that your team is always following a Renters’ Rights friendly contract process
- Get a clear record of what was agreed, when, and on which tenancy
Concurrent supports the operational workflow and records. It does not serve legal notice.

FIXED AND ROLLING TENANCIES
Run fixed and rolling contracts side-by-side - no workarounds, mess or missed details

- Conversion workflows keep tenancy records intact
- Operate multiple tenancy models across the same portfolio

the tenancy

-
A consistent workflow for recording notice details
and outcomes - Contract-linked notes and history so you can evidence what happened internally
- Fewer gaps when staff change, or handovers happen mid-cycle

Cleaner rent schedules and fewer manual
reconciliation gaps - Clear visibility of what’s due and what’s paid, per tenancy
- A stronger operational position when things escalate
