Rent issues topical again

We are now in the last month of the semester before we close our academic year and the rent issue with landlords is topical again.

for such a house, they need
 more money

Landlords know for sure that for the next four months they wont be getting any rand from their rooms and now they want to capitalist on the poor students.

A lot of the landlords in areas surrounding NUST have hiked their rents for the month of May. This has in turn resulted in many students failing to raise the needed amount and are now on eviction without notice.

For those who will be coming back next academic year, landlords have implemented a rule that for anyone to guarantee his/her accommodation, they should pay rent in full every month during the vacation.

For that reason again, students have decided to check out at the end of the semester as they always do...but this is also a grantee of accommodation crisis when they come back.

Quite frankly how can I pay rent for a room that i'm not using.

These landlords are going too far. I think something should be done about this. There should be a constitution to guide these people's operations...come on SRC...do something
