Tenant Preference

Student Friendly
Families Allowed

The landlord has indicated they are unable to accept families.

Landlords are only able to refuse applicants on this basis where one of the following exceptions applies:

  • They are subject to a contract of insurance entered into prior to 1 May 2026 which restricts occupation by children and which has not been renewed or varied on or after that date; or
  • The characteristics of the property (such as size, layout, or safety features) mean that restricting occupation by children is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

The landlord has confirmed that one of these exceptions applies.

You can still submit an enquiry if you wish to be considered for this property.

Pets Allowed
The landlord has stated that there may be grounds on which a request to keep a pet could be refused. If you enter into a tenancy agreement with this landlord you are still entitled to request permission to keep a pet, and the landlord may only refuse your request where they have a reasonable basis for doing so.
Smokers Allowed
