A student claims her expensive £1,600-a-month accommodation was like a "prison".
Alicia Sowerby, 23, claimed the high-rise block in Aldgate, London - which she moved into at the start of studying for her law degree last September - had broken heating, cockroaches everywhere and a bag of sick left out for a day. After a year of dealing with the squalid conditions, Alicia finally moved out on Friday (March 29) and claims her physical and mental health has been affected.
IQ Student Accommodation say the allegations do not reflect the reality of life at Aldgate and the issues Alicia have raised have been addressed.
