Dundee Student Renters Union - DSRU

Our Mission

All student renters should be treated fairly and equally. We provide solidarity and resources to help you understand your rights as a tenant and help you stand up when things go wrong. We campaign on our members' behalf on the basis of tenant solidarity to combat unscrupulous landlords, agencies and hall operators.

Join today to help form our mission.

The big issues we're taking on.

Renter Inequality

Lots of Fish in a Small Pond

Renter Inequality

Renters face inherent suspicion when they take part in a tenancy agreement, which they are of course an equal partner in! Join us to help flatten the inequality and inherent suspicion of student renters.

Deposit Despair

Lots of Fish in a Small Pond

Renter Inequality

35% of renters have lost some or all of their deposit and almost 6 out of 10 renters didn't bother disputing deductions because they didn't feel the system would make a difference or didn't have enough information. We aim to ensure that everyone knows who is entitled to that deposit money - the renter!

We know that isn't how the saying goes but there is an incredibly small pool of high quality accommodation in Dundee that is reasonably priced. This bottleneck allows for prices to be driven up well above average rates - from halls to private flats. We hope to work to ensure that there is sufficient high quality, low cost accommodation for all student renters.

Agency Abandonment

Agency Abandonment

Lots of Fish in a Small Pond

You only have to look at the reviews of many unscrupulous rental agencies online to see that there is a huge issue with agencies being easily & freely contactable. From repairs to deposits, dealing with mould or moving out - it seems that everyone has a horror story. It's time to set this right.

Unfair Treatment

Agency Abandonment

Unfair Treatment

We believe in fair treatment for all. Through campaigning on individual cases, we hope to ensure that all renters have fair treatment from their landlords, agencies or hall operators. COVID-19 has made it difficult for many students to lay out future plans - this shouldn't be to their financial detriment.

Member Defence

As a union, we take on individual cases and campaign on behalf of those who face unfair or unreasonable treatment from unscrupulous landlords, agencies and hall operators. We use open letters, demonstrations, boycotts, rent strikes, rent negotiations, third party help and other peaceful methods to ensure that our members' rights are being upheld.


Get in touch today if you have a renting horror story, are in the middle of an ordeal or want to help campaign for renter equality.
