Tenants including private should get rent alleviation during the virus outbreak.
Ensure that if landlords are given three months mortgage break, then this is passed on to tenants as a rent break.
To ensure landlords do not profit from Covid-19 and low income families aren’t at risk of loosing their homes during this time.
People are unable to work due to COVID-19. Pregnant women, asthmatics and the elderly are being asked to self isolate for 12 weeks. This is going to cause major debt and homelessness nationally.
If landlords cant afford mortgages how are tenants supposed to be able to afford rent, which is at a higher cost than the mortgage?
