“50-year-old wanted me to pay $500 a month to split an RV and become maid/girlfriend” is one of many examples on a banner of students’ tales of woe unveiled at the legislature
“Rats, mould and loud-peeing neighbours for $900 a month.”“50-year-old wanted me to pay $500 a month to split an RV and become maid/girlfriend.”
During the just-concluded local election campaign, UVic writing instructor Mark Leiren-Young, who was running for Saanich council, read some of the banner’s entries aloud during his allotted time at all-candidates meetings. Audience members gasped. “90-minute one-way commute. Needing nepotism to find a rental. Friends forced to take a semester off or be homeless.”“Landlord asked for money under the table to make up for ‘unexpectedly high’ heating cost during winter.”“Had to pay $800 in rent to live in a living room.”Now, the plight of out-of-town students might seem an unlikely vote-getter in a local election campaign, but Leiren-Young is glad he raised the issue.
Then Leiren-Young attended a workshop where a woman spoke about students who were spending so much on rent that they had little left for food. That got him looking deeper.
