Students are facing a housing crisis that impacts their wellbeing, finances, and academic success. Rents swallow most of their maintenance loans, forcing tough choices, including long commutes, excessive work hours, or unsafe living conditions.

Poor housing standards, from damp and mould to broken appliances, make homes unhealthy and stressful. Unfair deposit practices and unresponsive landlords add to the pressure, while house-hunting remains exhausting and limited, especially for those with accessibility needs.

Students want accountability, transparency, and safe, affordable housing. It's time to challenge exploitative practices and create a system that works for everyone.

For more detailed information relating to the campaign, please see the Campaign Policy Statement for 'Housing'.

As a Leeds Beckett student, you can get involved! These campaigns are formed based on listening to students and we would like to students to lead on the changemaking process with support from the Community Organising team in the Students’ Union.
