The students living at Abodus Portland Green Student Village urge Abodus Student Living to release all students who plan to leave the accommodation for the last term (23.04.2020-23.07.2020) from their contracts and no further fees to be due.

Following the announcement made recently that the majority of lecture and seminar-based teaching will now be delivered remotely, most of the residents of Abodus Portland Green Student Village left Newcastle to return home. During this unprecedented situation, many businesses however big or small went bankrupt, therefore, thousands of people lost their jobs and are unable to pay between £4,000-£8,000 for an accommodation they cannot stay in. It is unacceptable and unfair to take advantage of the financially unstable students during this global crisis. 

We urge Abodus Student Living to show humanity and compassion during this difficult time and follow the example of other companies and put their residents first by releasing them from their contracts.
