Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
What steps his Department is taking to help renters affected by the covid-19 outbreak.
This Government has put in place an unprecedented package to support renters during this time. Legislation to increase eviction notice periods, coupled with the Court Service’s suspension of proceedings, mean no renter currently faces the threat of eviction.
We have strengthened the welfare safety-net to help households experiencing financial hardship.
