I'm fed up with all this anti-landlord crap now, I've always tried to ultra fair, repairs fixed immediately etc, no rent increases for 4 years now. My son is a renter, I'm going to pay ½ his rent for him this month. It's a bill like any other bill. I have offered my tenants a holiday, and this will greatly affect me financially, but I thought, yes we are all in this together. But apparently not. We're always seen as some "child catcher" like figure lurking on the sidelines. 1 of my tenants earns twice what I do.

How funny, when I asked if we we're likely to be assisted or where to go for guidance on another thread Paul Barratt said that I "should have built up a buffer which you could use for your own domestic circumstances" Why then, are you ####### yourself? Our worries are the same, yet, you attacked me for being unbusinesslike. I genuinely believed I might get help here.

So, no then, no help for private landlords from the government on the horizon. Thank you for the self-righteous guidance, it was invaluable.🙄

I haven't put my rent up because both sets of tenants are fantastic and I'm not greedy, I manage very well on what they pay. I have a son with a young family and I see how extremely difficult it is for young people. I am endeavouring to do my bit by helping out these young people. I do have a buffer but I'm still quite young and have a young family. As I said this is my sole income.

As a follow up, my landlord insurance covers for non payment of rent...but, only if I want to take my tenants to court, get them out and find new tenants. That is obviously not what I want to do. The Chancellor is, as I write talking about speaking to insurers to ensure they make payments and and change their parameters for claims to include Corvid-19. I think there is a case for my insurer to include non-payment because of pandemic, that doesn't mean throwing my tenants out.

Hi, I'm not adverse to helping my tenants, but this is my soul income. I am a guarantor for my son who is care worker and is already in isolation. Will there be any help for me? It seems the world believe all landlords have bottomless pockets. I bought these properties as investment for my children. I've never put up my rent, always made good any issues immediately and now, we are flippantly expected to not take rent. How/where do I look for help. I have a young child at home too.
