Financial Supports for Tertiary Level Students: Discussion
12:05 pm
Mr. Chris Clifford:
Absolutely, digs regulation is one of the most important issues that needs to be pushed, especially when it is so predominant now among students. It is not only with digs; we see a number of accommodation providers that are not RTB-registered. Students are forced into these situations because they have no other option. If they want to put in a report to the RTB, their worry is what to do when they try to get this place registered or report it being unregistered. Will they just get kicked out or what happens there? They are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
