Private student landlords urge to cut rent
Meanwhile, Staffordshire University has written to private landlords there in a bid for them to offer student tenants a discount on their rent during the latest Covid-19 lockdown.
The university wrote a joint open letter with Staffordshire University Students Union to private landlords and it makes clear that landlords may be struggling with their own financial situation – but because of the pandemic, landlords are being urged to help students financially.
Also, private student landlords in Bristol have also received letters from Bristol Students Union urging them to help with rent reductions for students living in their private accommodation.
