Nearly two in three student tenants are struggling with rent payments, a survey has suggested.

More than two in five (41%) of students surveyed said they have thought about dropping out of university because of either rent or bills.

A poll, by the website Save The Student, suggested that the proportion of student tenants struggling to keep up with rent has increased since last year’s survey – from 53% to 63%.
