Sign the petition to stop Landlords ripping Students off accomodation

[117 M34]

Student house rentals are always done on a 12 month basis.
If they aren't going to be attending the union person next academic year, there is no need to sign a contract for a house therefore no need for a petition.
Students stay at home. Landlord rents house out to professionals for a year as a HMO.
No problem.

Why would you enter into a 12 months contract from July when you don't need to be there?

They can't evict this year until 23rd August anyway as it has been extended 2 months. Wait until December and see what is available.

You generally have to sign up for a student house at the earliest in November, or at the latest roughly February. After that, there is hardly anything available or it is extortionately expensive. So the vast majority of students will have signed up for the next academic year before this whole situation occurred. Not saying I agree with compensation.

I've lived next door to Students for most of my life, until I couldn't take no more, they have no consideration for neighbours and the place they live and for that reason I won't be signing your petition cos I couldn't give a fuck.

I’ve some sympathy for the OP here having paid for my son’s accommodation for the last three years, including while unoccupied for the last few months but as ever it’s not that simple. Some of the houses let to students are pretty poor standard but looking at how little they are respected by their inhabitants then you can understand it up to a point.

As for the comments from @BJL_City and @Tuearts right boot , you sound like a pair of c@@@s

Don’t think you’ll get professionals happy to live in some of these student lets

I had students next door for 10 years when I lived in Fallowfield. Had problems a total of once in that time and the student in question was very apologetic the following day when he’d sobered up. If you had constant problems with them it’s probably more to do with you than them.

If they agree as a union to stop supporting social injustice movements and rabid left wing propaganda, stop hounding, vilifying and protesting non-issues and recognise the precedence of biological sex then I'll think about it.

Chat some shite these Tommeh Robinson fans

Me too. I’ve paid for my daughter’s and both my son’s accommodation for their student houses. The landlords typically get twice as much income from a student let as they would for a normal family let and some student houses are absolute hovels. It’s only fair that they should share the burden if the accommodation doesn’t get used as expected. It’s not their fault but it’s not the fault of the students either.

Hope students never stop doing any of those things, if young people don’t try and fight social injustice, if they think it’s ok that one sexuality has precedence over another, that’s not a society I want.

In the not too distant olden days you never knew who was going to be booted off etc an there was always stuff still around in September, and also October when a few didn't like it and quit. i suppose students paying their own fees and the whole business being more expensive means there are not the same number of drop-outs now.
