| Subject: Rights violation: Landlords will be blocked from evicting tenants for three months as Johnson acts to protect workers struggling to pay rent Wed Mar 18, 2020 5:37 pm | |
| Landlords will be blocked from evicting workers who cannot pay their rent because of job losses or having to look after their children as coronavirus ravages the UK.
In sweeping new powers announced this afternoon, new eviction attempts will be banned for three months to give hard-pressed workers in private and social accommodation breathing space during the economic crisis.
The move announced by Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick came after Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak had faced mounting pressure to help renters after announcing a three-month mortgage holiday for homeowners.
To make sure landlords do not suffer Mr Jenrick also revealed that buy-to-let mortgages would also be covered by the 12-week payment hiatus.
