Rachel Hopkins:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
what discussions his Department has had with private university accommodation
providers on waiving rental fees for students during the covid-19 outbreak.
Christopher
Pincher: The Department is actively engaging with stakeholders across the
student accommodation sector, including private student accommodation
providers. During this period tenants, including student tenants, remain liable
for rent. Some universities and private accommodation providers have chosen to
release students from their contracts early and not charge rent for students
returning home. The negotiation of rent waivers and early releases from
contracts is a matter between the parties concerned.
