The STARS (Student Tenancy Accommodation Rating Scheme) website is a tool for rating and recognising good quality student properties. STARS is a voluntary scheme for landlords to sign up to that gives students access to information about student properties and allows them to make informed decisions about what sort of home they rent.

The STARS ratings are based on information provided by landlords on:

  • Fire safety
  • Security
  • Insulation
  • Heating and ventilation
  • General amenities

Landlords provide accurate information about their rental properties in good faith and are allocated a STARS rating for each property. STARS ratings also offer landlords who provide quality housing a market advantage as high ratings impact on the choices students make.
