This is unintentionally hilarious. A bunch of upper middle class kids from the shires discovering the reality of urban life in a decaying Britain. I was laughing out loud when the girl described how some deranged drug addict tried to stuff a dead rat through the window but then resorted to kebab meat when it wouldn't fit.Then at the end the well intentioned girl describing students as "vulnerable people" also made me chuckle.
The point is these guys pay a stupid amount for rent to stay in halls, the quality of this accomodation is shocking. You can call them middle class or whatever, you dont know their backgrounds, just their accents. They dont deserve to be living like this, given that they have paid for a service.
and for uni accommodation the cheapest in the area is 1194 per month so over 8 grand for 44 weeks and many people aren't getting enough student finance due to parents income but then the parents don't earn enough to pay for their mortgage and their children's and uni students can't work 40 hours to earn 1200 per month to just be able to afford rent and not phone bills and debts and food
@@SH-ly1uyshut up, many people have tried to get jobs and are unable to do so, what about disabled people?... Gonna have to do a lot more than two shifts at maccys on the weekend to afford that. You sound ignorant at best.
Wait until you experience actual adulthood. I suggest you study somewhere cheaper, get a job and save up for a while first, or don't go to university at all.
@@apebass2215 shut up... Most have us have experienced adulthood and there's hardly anywhere cheaper to study as the cost of living rises, and the financial support students get is decreasing.
I live in porstmouth and its the same im at portsmouth university and its at least 600 - 1000 per. month to rent a 1 bedroom with 1 bathroom for 8 people its disgusting and food shopping has tripled in the area
Just to clarify. Are you saying eight people are in a one bedroom one bathroom flat? Or eight people each with their own bedroom and connected bathroom with shared kitchen facilities? As in an HMO?
The real problem here and all the other places is that building design is not based on creating homes that are maintenance free. I believe this is so that corrective building maintenance work is generated to keep trades busy. It is possible to design buildings that have a maintenance free roof and also a false floor that has a drain, so that if there was a leak, then the water could be collected through the drain and passed onto the pipes for water outlet. This should get rid of problems with leaks dripping down to flats below. There should be many water switch points so that if a water leak is identified, then that supply can be turned off, whilst not affecting the rest of the water supply areas to the flat. This allows water still to be accessible whilst your waiting for a tradesman to fix the leak point. There are other maintenance free ideas I have but I am keeping this short.
You're talking bollocks. These are old homes. Houses that are well over 100 years old have all sorts of issues. Access to repair them and the cost of doing so is very high. These landlords do not want to pay the huge cost for replacing roofs and so forth.
Welcome to the overpopulated Great Britain. Keep voting for more of it! Today's rent prices will look great compared to the rent we'll all be paying 10 years from now! 👍
True: Landlords charge huge rents for decaying properties for students in Bristol. These are spruced up between tenants so new ones do not realise how bad it is and Lanords delay on repairs so it's not fixed by the time current tenants leave. Chandos Road area, Redland, Bristol has the highest rented student property concentration in the Country. What these students are saying is totally true. (E.g. medical student on ward placements & friends during Covid couldn't bathe in her house due to boiler not having hot water, for months).
I haven't watched all of this video but at 14.25, didn't you view the property before agreeing the lease and moving in? I know what the answer will be: "Student accommodation is scarce." Moreover, you could spend a few quid to buy some one way reflective mirror window film, a door stop or a handle for the shower. Yes, I know the Landlord should do it but for your own sanity and well-being.
Find out who the head of the organisation is and email them as well as their colleagues. Just make a nuisance of yourself. I didn't get evicted, could have done
This should all be considered character building :D I rented a student house in Bradford in the '90s and we had a flooded basement full of rats, electrics that randomly shorted out and rotted floors that you'd fall through if you didn't know which bits to avoid. Also when we moved in we found a pair of knitted underpants in a drawer, which we could never figure out why anyone would even make them....
Compared to other cities , Bristol is very expensive. For one academic year ( bathroom sharing with five flatmates ), it is 10500 pound. I don’t understand why they are not building private student inbuilt accommodations if demand is higher. I think they are colluding to increase rent by deliberately decreasing supply.
In Manchester , a student en-suite is only 8k per annum , however, in Bristol, it is 12k per annum for an en-suite and 10500 for a single room with sharing bathroom.
