“As a student struggling with severe clinical depression, my suicidal tendencies have been through the roof. After reaching out to Sheffield Hallam, minimal support was offered to me”
“Failure to complete maintenance requests, having to move flags due to leaking pipes, mice infestation, not being there for 6 weeks over Christmas, locked in with no mental health services”
“Quality of my flat is disgusting for what I’m paying -mouse infestation, silverfish infestation, leak so no water in our flat currently and no form of compensation”
- “Had no hot water since Sep,nothing has been done”

⁃"I’ve had multiple issues with my apartment such as broken toilet, mould growing by the door, no heating and no electricity”

⁃"There are rats running round the accommodation and staff are always losing my parcels”
“I was told I would be in uni so I moved to Sheffield to make life easier for myself, but I haven’t been into uni once! I’m doing a nursing degree and learned to give injections over a YouTube video"
“There has been at least one security breach when the door to our block was ripped open from the outside and multiple people walked in from the street”
⁃I’m not being supported by the university on how this is affecting my mental health”

⁃"I didn’t have hot water for over a week”

⁃"I feel incredibly isolated and alone stuck in my little room with no help from the uni”
"Accommodations won't kick out sex pests and after telling security people got told "that's what you get for being pretty'"
"Security are all over the place, some are nice but some take things far too seriously and invade our privacy which makes me feel very unsafe”
- "My accomm has a nice infestation and I have found droppings in my frying pan”

- "Its depressing being locked in the flat and the only reason I stay there is because I’m forced to pay the rent”

- "Pinnacle's security walk into flats at anytime noseying about, its so weird”
"In quarantine when we had no food we requested offered food vouchers and Hallam responded a month later and the vouchers weren't able to be used on home deliveries?"
"We were promised accommodation would be safe and clean when we moved in. Two mice under the fridge and hair in the shower, our flat had clearly not been cleaned before we moved in.”
"In my flat the (accommodation staff) took the locks off the doors so the staff can literally come in whenever they want"
"I once reported an incident next door & the next morning I had a lad living next door at my door to tell me off for reporting him, becuase the staff memeber had told him where i live, and that i lived alone"
“When I first moved in the shower leaked under the floor & flooded my bedroom ruining my wardrobe & carpet. Also leaked into the corridor& the flat below, shorting their electricity and blowing their lights out. Maintenance have attempted 6 times at fixing it, it still leaks.”
“I’ve tried ending my contract due to my health and medical reasons meaning I have to shield, and they’re saying its not a valid reason despite a doctors note”
“Forge has brutish, racist security guards”

“Haven’t been in my accomodation since October and have spent a grand total of 3 weeks there -I should not be paying for rent”
“I have lived in my accomodation for about 9/10 weeks as been following government guidelines, but I’m still expected to pay for a 44 week contract?”
"Security said to a girl at Westhill "That's a nice dress but it would look better on my bedroom floor"- they're sex pests"
