Freeze mortgage payments/rents if country is to lockdown
Freeze mortgage payments/rents if country is to go into lockdown, and add the frozen payments to the end of your mortgage term.
This will make self isolation possible for a lot more people. Whether in rented accommodation/commercial premises/mortgaged properties.
It would be a good idea to freeze the payments to allow people to self isolate/take time off work without having the burden of these payments putting them into debt.
The frozen payments can then be added to the end of the mortgage term.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because suspending payments for mortgages, and rent is a matter for individual lenders and landlords, and not the UK Government or Parliament.
People with mortgages can ask for a mortgage holiday from lenders. You can find out more here: www.fca.org.uk/consumers/mortgages-coronavirus-consumers
