Almost half a
million UK families are thought to have fallen behind on rent, as a result of
the coronavirus crisis, according to the Resolution Foundation. It said
more than 750,000 had been behind on housing costs last month. That is 450,000
more than January 2020. "Despite widespread calls for forbearance in the
face of the Covid-19 shock, just 3% of private renting families have been able
to negotiate a lower rent over the last 10 months," the think tank said in
a report. Meanwhile, one in 20 private renters in the UK said they had been
refused rent reductions. Read more on the BBC website.
