Hi

I’m in a position where I may have to take a leave of absence on serious medical grounds. Currently staying with Unite. I’ve paid my rent in advance, so I’m all upto date.

Where do I stand?

As I have already paid my rent in advance, then can I stay? I only ask because the doctors and hospitals that I’ve got used to and trust are local here and I would prefer it if they will be the ones treating me until I recover.

If it means that I have to pay the council tax, because I technically won’t be a student, then I’ll be happy to do that.

It’s just that moving in the middle of treatment would add to stress and cause disruption to treatment.

Anyone else had a similar experience or can offer any advice?


You would need to read your contract, but most likely you can't stay as you won't be a student.
