Rejected petition The Student Housing Company to reduce rent for Students due to new lockdown laws

To get the Student Housing Company to reduce the rent that students have to pay this year due to the pandemic.

More details

Due to new lockdown laws, students are unable to return to their accommodation until mid February, but expected to pay full rent. This is unfair. When students have contacted TSHC about this, many have been threatened with legal action.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Suspending payments for rent or ending a tenancy early is a matter for individual landlords, and not the UK Government or Parliament.
