Covid-19: To introduce a legislation to protect private renters from eviction.
To support financially those who are renting a property from private landlords or to protect them from eviction by bringing up a legislation in case they are not being able to pay the rent due to the Covid-19.
Private tenants must be protected as they were paying taxes in the UK when they were fit to work. The Covid-19 issue is very problematic for them and uncertain for their future as they don’t have a home for themselves. The state cannot let the private tenants to be evicted because they are vulnerable to this virus.
