Testing client's force_login method doesn't seem to be logging in.

I'm trying to write a test case for the viewing permissions on a certain webpage. I'm trying to get the client to force_login as a user to test if they can get the view or not. The issue is that my client doesn't seem to be logged in. No matter who I try to login as (There are a few different types of users to test) I get redirected to the login page. The view is decorated with  login_required so this makes a little bit of sense but I'm still not sure why its happening.

Here's the code for my test case:

class AvailabilityListTestCase(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.admin = User.objects.create(username='admin', email='admin@sb.com', is_superuser=True, is_staff=True)
        self.admin.set_password('admin')
        self.student = User.objects.create(username='student', email='student@sb.com')
        self.student.set_password('student')
        self.student2 = User.objects.create(username='student2', email='student2@sb.com')
        self.student2.set_password('student2')
        self.tutor = User.objects.create(username='tutor', email='tutor@sb.com')
        self.tutor.set_password('tutor')
        self.tutor2 = User.objects.create(username='tutor2', email='tutor2@sb.com')
        self.tutor2.set_password('tutor2')
        self.student.tutor = self.tutor
        self.c = Client()
        self.url = '/user/tutor/availabilities/'


    def test_anon_access(self):
        response = self.c.get(self.url)
        self.assertRedirects(response, '/user/login/?next=/user/tutor/availabilities/')


    def test_owner_access(self):
        self.c.force_login(self.tutor)
        response = self.c.get(self.url)
        self.assertEqual(200, response.status_code)

Here's the view:

@login_required
def list_availabilities(request, username):
    curr_user = request.user
    if not curr_user.is_staff or curr_user.username != username:
        return HttpResponseForbidden()
    requested_user = get_object_or_404(User.objects.all(), username=username)
    requested_user_profile = get_user_profile(requested_user)
    availabilities = requested_user_profile.availability_set.all()
    formatted_list = []
    for availability in availabilities:
        formatted_list.append(
            (
                availability.title,
                # Format meaning: `12h:minute am/pm`
                availability.start_time.strftime("%l:%M %p"),
                availability.end_time.strftime("%l:%M %p"),
            )
        )
    return render(
        request,
        'appointments/availability_list.html',
        {
            'tutor_username':username,
            'formatted_list':formatted_list,
        }
    )

Thanks!
