Rejected petition 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.

More details

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.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

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.
