What is Ground 4A?
Ground 4A of Schedule 2 to the Housing Act 1988 (as amended by the Renters' Rights Act 2025) allows landlords of HMOs to recover possession to re-let to students for the next academic year.
Key requirements
- The property must be an HMO (3+ tenants, 2+ households)
- Tenants must be full-time students
- Must be served BEFORE the tenancy agreement is signed
- The tenancy agreement must be made within 6 months of the tenancy start date
⚠️ Important:
Without this prior written notice, landlords permanently lose the right to use Ground 4A for that tenancy. With Section 21 abolished from 1 May 2026, this is the only legal route to recover a student HMO at the end of the academic year.
