Looking for a rent reduction or rebate?
Government guidance announced that all remaining University courses can return to in-person teaching no earlier than the 17th of May.

Some students may find themselves paying for accommodation that they are not going to now use.
Our advice to you
  • If you are legally liable for your rent, you should continue to pay it;
  • Check your contract to see if you need to give notice to your landlord if you are going to be away from your property for a period of which is often around 30 days. If this is the case, let your landlord know if you are going to be away;
  • Read your contract to see if there is a break clause included in it;
  • Speak to your landlord to see if you can come to an arrangement. Your landlord does not have to help you, but we have written a template (available through the link below) that you might find useful when contacting them;
  • If your rent includes bills and you are away from your property, you could ask your landlord to reduce your rent. If your rent does not include bills, you remain liable for them until the end of your tenancy.
