Here are 5 things you need to know if you are #renting during the #coronavirusuk pandemic: #lctoday 1/2

[Derek Bernardi @DSBernardi]

Remote hearings AND in-person hearings during a pandemic are both terrible options for most tenants. PD51Z must be extended to protect most vulnerable in society. Otherwise there will be an enormous increase in homelessness with which councils won't be able to cope. @MoJGovUK

Important advice, by housing expert @nearlylegal, about why we need to help renters👉"Unless..other measures are brought in by the gov, there is a real risk that people will face possession claims for arrears in a month or two or possession claims after a s21 notice."

In the rush to embrace tech it's important to learn the lessons from the discrimination 📞 gateway. Between 13/14 + 17/18:
➡️ 17, 717 calls were taken
➡️ 18 ppl received f2f advice
➡️ 80% got 📞 advice only
Tech is a tool not a panacea
