ARLA Propertymark comments on the Government’s package of measures to protect renters and landlords

David Cox, Chief Executive, ARLA Propertymark, comments on the Government’s package of measures to protect renters and landlords affected by coronavirus.

“We are very conscious of the plight of tenants in these difficult times and appreciate any Government action to help those affected by the current situation. Letting agencies rely on rental payments and therefore Government must help to ensure agents can maintain their current service levels during any period where rent is not being paid. Specifically, we are calling on Government to extend the retail discount on business rates to estate and letting agents.”
