Give all students a rent and utility rebate for the travel window periods
Government should give all students a rebate of incurred rent and utility costs as a consequence of their advice. The student travel windows have led to universities ending in-person teaching early and staggering the return to campus and students should not have to foot the bill for this.
Government has a responsibility to cover incurred losses as a direct result of their travel window strategy. Students are paying rent and bills at accommodation they have been strongly advised to not live in for a number of weeks. It is their duty to refund student rent and utility costs for an accurate geographical estimate of their incurred costs for this period of time.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Rebates of bills would be a matter for the landlords and utility companies.

We could publish a petition calling for the Government to create a specific fund for students affected by the student travel window, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
