Mature Students
- Anyone over... say 21 is a mature student.
- In relation to property a group of mature students e.g. PGCEs get along fine.
- Compatibility issues are likely to arise when younger and older students share a property.
- Younger students are more likely to want to play loud music and want to return home late potentially disturbing their older housemates.
- Discrimination on the grounds of age is allowed.
- Some wisdom is required to avoid incompatibility.
- Imagine a group of young girls seeking a tenant to join them. If they were unable to discriminate they might be forced to share a house with a pensioner - neither party would likely be happy with that.
- So some discrimination is acceptable.
