Campaign group Generation Rent says thousands of tenants in areas of the country under Tier 3 Coronavirus restrictions are in danger of eviction.
In a letter to Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick the group, led by Baroness Alicia Kennedy, says it's “urging you to take action to support private renters living under Tier 3.”
The government has already agreed to pay two thirds of wages of workers in business obliged to close by the Tier 3 rules. However, the group’s letter to Jenrick continues: “We are extremely concerned that without further support private renters receiving 67 per cent of their income are at serious risk of debt, eviction and homelessness.”

Amanda please take some more time to write here as your grammar is somewhat dubious. Have a rant by all means but do it in intelligible English please.
Have any UC or HB claimants had a reduction in UC or HB? The unemployed have not been furloughed or made redundant so their “income” stream has not changed, they have just spent that money on other things.
Where tenants have been furloughed or made redundant, I suspect their landlords have been as helpful as possible. Remember, Councils and government do not actually produce any wealth. It all comes from taxpayers’ pockets!
