| Comment | I don't know what form the agreements with student housing providers take, but private tenancies in Scotland, by law, don't have minimum terms any more - you can leave a tenancy at any point with one month's notice. They also can't ask for more than 6 months rent up front.
So while they *say* they only offer one-year tenancies (and obviously they want to do that because it's hard to fill in any gaps), if you check the actual agreement you might find that actually, you're free to end the tenancy at any point
(I don't know the specifics of student housing so maybe there's some special reason why they can do this, but I'm not aware of it) |
