"Loughborough Students' Union supports the Renters Reform Coalition for one key reason, students are not second-class renters. All our students deserve a safe and warm place to live whilst they carry out their studies. As we saw during COVID this often forgotten and overlooked group, are particularly vulnerable when it comes to renting privately. Students can pay upwards £160 a week for the privilege to live in mould-ridden accommodation, and we wonder why the mental health of our students and young people is suffering. Only 1 in 2 students are confident that they have enough money to cover their basic living costs with 1 in 4 students regularly going without food due to rising costs. At LSU we believe that student private renters deserve more. That’s why we are joining these calls and showing our support for the Renters Reform Coalition and the Renters Reform Bill."
