What the petition asks
Due to Coronavirus Covid- 19, we can not either work or can not run our business. Mr PM, you have already stop the mortgage for home owners but you didn't not do anything for tenants which is completely unfair. So, please stop the House Rent & Council Tax until the situation gets back normal.
In this situation it is also crying need for the tenants like landlord. You have stop the mortgage for 3 months but don't not stop House rent which is absolutely unfair. There are no protection plan for small business and their families. You plan is good for rich people but not good for middle class families. So we are requesting to PM Boris Johnson to stop the House Rent & Council Tax until this crisis goes back normal or at least 3 for months like Homeowners. Thanks
