Foreign students - discrimination?

[toys19]

Not to mention the tax issues that Osborne brought in. Its hitting some people now as it went to full strength last year. So that they are making a loss- generally only those who are highly leveraged....

Well the point of J&S is that you can sue whichever one you want. I l know I have done it....

[toys19]

I didn't know that. However, that still does not make the employee liable, its the company, they have signed the contract, they are liable for utilities etc....

My contract (from the nla) states who is liable - choices are landlord or tenant, company is tenant in this case. I still don't understand why the LL cares if the employee pays or not. Legally it is the company who is responsible, they are the tenant, if they want the employee to pay they can work that...

Hi jpkeates thanks for answering my question. The issue is I do not want to enter into an agreement with someone who I would find it difficult to chase through the courts- as their intention would be to return to their home country after Uni. I think there is a European small claims court, I cannot...

two weeks? There is nothing enforceable here. Just move out. Don't pay a day longer than you have stayed....

I am LL, I have a group of students applying to move in, one of which is an EU national - the docs look as though they will pass right to rent checks, but I am asking (as I normally do) that non UK students pay the years rent up front.
Potential group have said this is discrimination. I agree,...
