Petition Action

Reimburse student maintenance loan!

Petition Details

Students who have moved back home to isolate due to covid19 should not have to pay rent to student accommodations. They should get the choice to stay there and pay the rest of the last term or other choice to move out and not have to pay the last term!

Additional Information

Students can then help pay for essentials and help towards the family so therefore parents who are out of jobs have some income which is the maintence loan from the student loan! The government should scrap students paying there last term of student accommodation
