Renting during the pandemic

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Renting during the pandemic

How has the coronavirus pandemic changed renting?

Louise Cooper and guests answer your questions about renting. E-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk.

Almost half a million UK households are facing rent arrears according to a report from the Resolution Foundation published this week. That's in large part  the result of people losing their jobs or losing pay during the pandemic. The eviction ban, which had been due to expire, has now been been extended. Louise Cooper and her panel of guests consider the impact that the end of the ban will eventually have on the rental market. They will also consider the size and severity of the property maintenance backlog that has built up over the past year and answer other questions  from tenants and landlords.
