I will stop charging rent on the house we own, if my landlords on the farm , allow me not to pay their rent. That’s fair isn’t it @glasshouse

Depends on your conscience
The french have imposed a fair solution to all

I rent I would expect my landlord to at least offer

What if you rely on rent to pay your bills. Can a landlord claim a grant from the government .
Wouldn’t it be better for the government to give the tenants money to cover their rent.

I can see that happening in the UK - along with council tax.

I’ve been trying to get rid of problem tenants since October. I’m not sure now whether I’ll ever see the back of them.

Fair to all will depend on who funds this measure...! Are the government going to compensate landlords, banks and utility services?

Exactly this. If tenants are still getting paid, even if working from home, then rent should still be paid .
I’d be sympathetic if tenants are laid of or off sick.

4.5 months is plenty of time to serve notice and go to court. It shouldn't be that difficult unless you are within a contracted term. But you have no chance now.

In fact I expect the government will suspend Section 8s and 21s.

And how long are they going to continue?

Yes and I have no problem with paying it. What I dont want is my landlord taking the pee getting a break and expect me to keep paying him and then passing the rent on to the next person

Do you mean getting a break from a mortgage .

Having already paid income tax before it’s taken

Although I agree I sort of don’t. Your landlord has worked hard, saved , scrimped etc etc to get to that position why shouldn’t he be in line to receive good fortune. I would 100% agree to viewing the situation very differently if the person was laid off or on sick.

Section 21s were discussed in PMQs today and I suspect they will be suspended.
