Provide financial support scheme to University students' tenancy agreements

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Private landlords are not supporting the students. There is a postcode lottery of support, some universities have provided direct support. The Governernment needs to create an equitable scheme to prevent young person debt.
The university tenancy playing field is uneven. It is right and proper that all young people get support in these dark Covid 19 days.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Enable all students to end university tenancy agreements early due to Covid-19.
Reimburse student rents for all accommodation not used during this academic year
