Thousands of university students are currently on rent strike and planned to do so even before the lockdown announcement. Students at over 30 unis are asking for rent rebates in the biggest strike in 40 years, because they are not permitted to return on-site and live in their accommodation.
After students at university began setting up their own rent strike groups, weeks of campaigning, and a lockdown announcement that seemed to mention everyone in the country except students, universities are finally listening. Institutions are beginning to announce potential plans for lowering or scrapping rent.
While some haven’t begun to draw up plans for next term’s rent, others have gone as far as to reveal they will not be charging rent at all while students are away. We will be continually updating this list of rent rebate policies across the country.
The University of Leeds has announced it will offer students living in university-owned accommodation “an appropriate rent refund” for this academic year.
It is not yet clear how much this refund will be or what time period it will cover, with more details expected soon.
The decision to offer a rent refund to students has come about as a result of huge disruption to the academic year by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Since then, Cut the Rent has increased its demands to a 40 per cent rent reduction and a full rebate for the periods when students have been advised to stay away from university completely.
