NUS is fighting for student tenants' rights
Student rent has risen by 61% in the last 10 years, and has spiralled more during the cost-of-living crisis.
On top of that, the average student loan in England leaves students with just 50p a week after paying their rent, according to HEPI and Unipol.
As part of the student Manifesto for our Future, NUS is demanding action from the next government to control the cost of rent.
