Let students be released from their final student accommodation tendencies · petition

What the petition asks

I want parliament to make an official statement saying student accommodations should allowed their students to be released from their final student year tendencies (April to August) due to cornavirus and not that university is off

As I believe it is unfair for students who are stuck in their accommodation or now living at home due to the cornavirus and have to pay rent still for their student tendencies, that money could be used to help their families or keep themselves a float during these times .. I want students to be released from their tendencies as we no longer go to uni due to the cornavirus.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Suspending payments or providing refunds for tuition fees and rent are a matter for individual universities and landlords, and not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you want the Government to refund university rent and tuition fees due to coronavirus, you may wish to sign this petition: Reimburse all students of this year’s fees due to strikes and COVID-19

If you want the Government to encourage lenders, landlords and utilities to freeze payments during lockdown, you may wish to sign this petition: Encourage lenders, landlords and utilities to freeze payments during lockdown
