Allow students to have their remaining accommodation payments waived in COVID-19
Like many of you, I have returned back to my family home during this COVID-19 pandemic due to my university being shutdown & no face-to-face lectures taking place.
We would like the government to waive the fees of students’ remaining payments to student accommodation short-hold tenancy agreements.
We are now still liable to pay for the accommodation we are not using. For me this is just over £2000 of my maintenance loan that is being wasted for 1 terms rent.
By signing this petition you will be supporting students all across the UK who are no longer living at university and have returned to their home-towns during this COVID-19 pandemic.
It is our understanding that there is no way out of these tenancy agreements, but this could change if the government agree.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
