Letters to the editor: What is stopping us removing the insecurity of those living in rented homes?

It would appear that the only group that must be protected from all financial pain during this emergency are domestic landlords. Admittedly the government has decreed that there will be no evictions or rent increases on a temporary basis. Really! How radical a solution is that?

The government then adds enormously to the to the social welfare bill, not to help people survive, but solely to enable them to pay their rents. Nor is the there any mention of increasing the tax rate on such income for the duration of the crisis.
