The management finally agreed to issue the rent refunds after all that back and forth and I am honestly just so relieved that we do not have to keep living while basically camping in our own rooms. It is wild that it took us pushing this hard to get what …

Hi all
I assume we all must be unhappy with not having Wifi, lifts are broken (for whatever reason), no hot water and electricity, lack of support and the list can go on. Therefore, I propose that we all sign a petition to ask for a compensation. I think that is fair to us all, especially we had to pay the our accomodation fees way back. This is clearly unfair to me and all and I think we should come together and ask for some sort of compensation.

I was just checking the messages and it is honestly exhausting to read about how many people are sitting in freezing water right now. I am still waiting on a callback from the building management but they are clearly ignoring the emails I sent earlier since my phone has been silent for hours.

It is not only about the recent issue, which is just a sum up for all the mismanagement we had endured. I cannot count in which month of my stay that all things were working. First tow months heater no working in my flat, then broken lift for 2 weeks, broken stove for 1 months, broken lifts (again) for more than a month, random lights not working, then water leak and no lights in my flat. In short, failed to deliver the services listed in the contract.

It is ridiculous not to have the electrical fault repaired within 3 days and to leave us without the Internet for at least 5 days. As the reception admitted, it's a very old building, then why the rent is so high and without any proper emergency measure for situations like this? And I have to pay extra money to my cellphone company in order to buy more GB to use the Internet. There should definitely be a compensation.

The lifts have not been working, same with the lights in our toilets, and we have had water dripping from the flat above us several times, causing us to have only one useful bathroom. Plus one of our stoves has been broken for over a month, it has been reported but not fixed.

It is a lack of respect for all of us to have to live through all these problems without any apparent real solution. We are 'captive clients' of student accommodation and King's should do something about it, given that we knew about theses residences (and applied to them) through King's !

I can't believe it will take a whole week to fix the Internet. Ridiculous
