Student Tenancy - Can he live there now he's left Uni?

dimbo61

If you son carries on paying his rent I can't see the Accomadation  provider trying to evict him  with only 2/3 months left of his tenancy.
Hopefully  he can get on a course in Manchester and get through  his degree course with support.
My son also caught glandular  fever in his first term at University  and  ended up in hospital over Xmas with tubes in his neck.
Fine now and teaching in Hong Kong

Just to add Glandular Fever is sometimes regarded as a minor illness (passed on by snogging folk believed when I was a gal) but it lasts so long and can be debilitating.  I hope you son can rebuild on a new course, but if he is still ill he must engage with the uni and get a supportive GP involved to help them make allowances for time off forced by the illness (or any illness for that matter).

I doubt the university will notify the private halls of residence and i doubt the private halls of residence will even care.

My son was dropped off his uni course - he claims due to medical needs his attendance suffered and they made the decision to ask him to leave as he could not produce evidence of his ill health...
Anyway - it is his final term and I am his guarantor so we / I have about £1400 left to pay as they frontload the rent on the first two terms. 
He is insistent that if we have to pay (of course we do) then he will stay in the flat until the end of the year.  
Its a Halls type residence. However, I am curious as I am sure you have to be a student to stay in Student Halls?
If he is no longer a student then will he be allowed to live there, even if the rent is paid? 
I don't want him to go back as its 3 hours away and I just want him to get a job. 

£1,400? Sounds like Unite Students. Is he at MMU? My daughter is there and we've just paid the last payment as well.

No. Liverpool but hoping to get to Manchester in September

My son's illnesses were more around him constantly having tonsilitis / glandular fever etc. dare I say from partying too hard and for too long? 

Unrelated to his living situation, but I suffered from the same for 20 years and I hardly drink and never party. It can really knock you, and I'd have to miss the odd day or two of work due to the inflammation / fever, and have to take in rice pudding into work for a week for lunch as it was the only thing I could get down. 
Not being able to eat / sleep / breathe properly really doesn't leave you feeling well. I'd never got anywhere with the GP as "we don't take them out anymore", so was frequently on antibiotics (non-penicillin ones due to allergy, which had painful side effects). 

Not a problem nowdays as in my mid 20s I'd finally had enough! Demanded the GP refer me on, and cited frequent antibiotics and missing work was not good for long term. He reluctantly agreed. 
Specialist took one look, said "we'll have them out" (no argument), and booked in the surgery. 
Horrible recovery (10 days unable to eat more than 2 slices of bread), but I've never had a problem since!

Tell him to do the same. Demand referral to an ENT specialist. If they agree to take them out it may be well worth doing. I haven't had a medical issue or antibiotics for 10 years now.

Thanks for this. I doubt he will push for anything as he is not inclined to do so but he has had major issues with his ears when he was home and he even took himself to A&E he was in so much pain (he was at a friends house that night which is why I wasn't with him). He has been on antibiotics but I can't help thinking its all related ears / throat etc. I am auto-immune and his sister is also so I guess there is something more going on there. Next time he is home I will try and get a GP appointment with him because I doubt anything will happen without me being an embarrassing Mother and attending his appointment with him.
