Landlords: Coronavirus – Parliamentary Written Answer

Sarah Olney: If he will take steps to encourage landlords to (a) defer rental payments and (b) not approach guarantors for late rental payments during the covid-19 outbreak.

Luke Hall: The Government, along with the courts service, has delivered unprecedented support to reduce the risk of rent arrears and has taken legislative and procedural steps to protect tenants.
