We give two constructions for semi-regular relative difference sets (RDSs) in groups whose order is not a prime power, where the order u of the forbidden subgroup is greater than 2. No such RDSs were previously known. We use examples from the first construction to produce semi-regular RDSs in groups whose order can contain more than two distinct prime factors. For u greater than 2 these are the first such RDSs, and for u = 2 we obtain new examples.
