Students should be released from tenancies early

My friend's husband is a dentist - he can't work [no PPE] so they have taken a mortgage holiday on their house - everyone can do that. People are being furloughed with companies making up the 20% in many companies.

Students need to realise they need to be responsible when taking on a contract - don't do it if you haven't got the money upfront.

Very few people will have the money for a full year's rent upfront, it is absolute nonsense to suggest that this is reasonable solution.

Of course it isn't - you know how much SF you'll have so you make sure you earn the rest the summer before and/or see how much your parents are gong to help.

Students are far more fortunate than many people at the moment - stop moaning and start helping other people.

But when parents can't help as they could before or people lose income it causes issues as one cannot plan for this eventuality.

I'm not a student, nor am I moaning. I do however take umbrage with the tone of your posts as of late. I actually try to offer solutions to people's issues on here rather than pointless lectures on what they should have done.

Ahh. You should have said that to begin with; then I would have known to not reply to you in the first place. Like I said; what you’re saying is a form of bullying. I work hard with my degree and part time job and I’m in no position to help anyone financially when I have no money myself. Just because students and young and choose to get an education doesn’t mean we are fortunate.

It's very difficult to read 'tone' from a post.

I've been helping deliver food parcels to people who are really in need at the moment - perhaps others could do something practical too?

Not your posts.

students are sheltered from the worst.

Could you explain plz ? What's like the max on savings to claim on benefits/UC ? Is it £16k ? At what savings level would you suggest that one consider claiming benefits ? Like at a time like this and without a Job/income at hand.
