You must pay off this loan ASAP and you must not take any other loan.

I was born into a Muslim family but I didn’t have much guidance, because my family are more cultural than Islamic. Nonetheless I found islam and I started to look into my deen half way through my degree and I became practising alhamdulillah (and this my family had problems with). But my biggest problem is that I took a loan out to fund my education. Now each day that goes by interest is being added. What do I do? I have checked the terms and conditions of the student loans and it says that if you die the government clears the debt for you. But what do I do? Do I pay it back ASAP?

My husband is going to rent an apartment however in the lease there is usually a riba clause. This is a standard lease in the city. The clause usually states that riba would be charged if payment is delayed beyond a certain date every month. Alhumdulillah my husband pays the rent on time but can we sign this lease? Is it sinful to do so? Please note its the standard lease paper that is used by almost every person who is renting out an apartment.
