Did you leave your student accommodation due to COVID 19? Our #NotStayingNotPaying campaign has worked to ensure everyone who had to do this isn't unfairly charged rent for accommodation they could no longer use. Once new emergency Coronavirus legislation comes into force shortly (exact date tbc), you'll be able to give 7-days' notice if you have already left your accommodation and be released from your contract. 

However, we think it's unfair that students were ever charged rent for homes they'd left. If this affects you, we've prepared a template letter you can send to your accommodation provider to request a rent refund. Please delete/fill in your details as appropriate, and then send it on to the accommodation provider. NUS Scotland is campaigning for all unfairly charged rents to be refunded, so please get in touch to let us know what response you get.
