Rent reduction for students in private halls of residence.
We have signed a contract for our university accommodations, but over Christmas we were placed in a national lockdown. There are lots of students who can not move back to their accommodations, due to COVID-19, but are paying rent to live in flats/houses, when we are stuck at our permanent homes.
All students planned to go home for Christmas and be back for their second semester. Following the new restrictions the majority of us can’t move back. It’s easy for accommodations that are directly connected to the university’s, but students who are in private accommodations need help. Private accommodations are usually cheaper and more affordable to people who get the minimum loan, or students who attend a theatre/drama school who do not get offered accommodation through their university.
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:
Suspending payments for rent or ending a tenancy early is a matter for individual landlords, and not the UK Government or Parliament.
