Petition Action

Rent break through the coronavirus for all family’s that have to rent their home

Petition Details

Help people with the rent due to coronavirus pandemic as most people do not have much income to start with and if the country has to go on lockdown how do they pay there rent with no pay or work. This is for employed people as well as self employed. You seem to have only thought about mortgage owner

Additional Information

People are not going to be able to afford where they live, as some only bring enough money in to pay for their RENT and utility bills. We need this break in rent the same as mortgage owners. Parliament seem to have only thought about business rents and not home rents in an already struggling country. This will make the country homeless unless this is done. People will be on lockdown with no income coming in to pay for anything.
