If I can just interrupt, there are no regulations. Students do not feel safe or secure. There is no secure tenure for them. They can be put out on the street at any time. They are also afraid to speak up because they could be put out. The accommodation pool is bad but students are afraid to speak up in case they lose it. There must be some sort of regulatory protection for students, and the landlord as well. There must be protection on both sides. Licences and guidelines are just not good enough.
