Tenants, landlords and letting agents need urgent support as the rent debts crisis worsens, according to a call for action backed by various bodies.
A joint statement, backed by organisations including the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA), Shelter, StepChange Debt Charity and Nationwide Building Society, calls for a package of measures to help renters pay off arrears built since March 2020 when the initial lockdown started.
They warned that without further action, debts will keep building and it will be harder to keep renters in their homes.
The call is also backed by the Big Issue, Ride Out Recession Alliance and Arla (Association of Residential Letting Agents) Propertymark.

Mrs Horsey said pictures used on the property site Rightmove when she previously tried to sell her home in Dovedales Court had been copied to advertise it for rent on a Facebook group called ‘Rooms, houses and flats to rent in Norwich’.
The details on the fake letting agreement were for a business address in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. After she left a message on a phone number the Facebook advert was removed.
She has reported the scam to Norfolk police who have referred it to Action Fraud, the UK’s national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime.
