This report follows a previous Cabinet dated 19th November 2020 which authorised Officers to apply further rent concessions to qualifying Council tenants in order to support them finically during these extended periods of lockdown. To date, qualifying tenants have received support for the following periods:-
1.) 25th March – 24th June - Delegated decision report under FPR19)
2.) 25th June – 2nd August (hospitality only) - Cabinet
3.) 24th October – 8th November (‘Firebreak’) - Cabinet
This report now seeks further authority to extend the rent concessions to cover the period 25th December 2020 to 24th March 2021. This additional financial support will help to mitigate against long term revenue losses & potential ‘void’ costs, whilst also trying to minimise job losses.
