I rang my bank and cancelled my payment to UNSW Housing (where I'm obliged to pay my rent until the contract runs out on Jan 11). You know what I think? I think I shouldn't have have to keep paying rent to a place I'm not only currently not occupying, but to a place I have no intention of ever returning to. If I was planning to go back after the holidays, then sure, I'd be paying to keep my room so I had somewhere to return to, but I've deferred study for the time being, and aren't going back to UNSW for at least another year ... indeed, for the foreseeable future.
I don't see why I should have to pay rent for somewhere that I have nothing to do with. It should be illegal. It's certainly immoral, but should be written into the law that no person, after having left the premises, should pay rent for a room they no longer intended to occupy, regardless of the length of their initial contract (something like that, anyway).
Seriously, like it says on a lot of facebook memes I see these days "F#ck the police."
