Crime scene: Accommodation problems for Asian students in Hamilton

Unscrupulous householders in Hamilton are taking advantage of Asian students, with six complaints of victimisation in the past month.

Problems include refusal to return bonds, accommodation agreements that disadvantage the students, and living quarters that do not match the original descriptions.

Students looking for accommodation are advised to talk to the university's International Student Centre or student services, as the complaints are civil matters and police cannot act on them.
