Up to half a million tenants may lose their home without financial help, charities, landlords and lenders warn

Citizens Advice estimate that at least half a million private tenants are in arrears due to the impact of Covid-19.

And the Resolution Foundation told the BBC that 750,000 renters had fallen behind on housing costs in January - 450,000 UP on the previous year.

The think tank reported that just 3% of private renting families have been able to negotiate a lower rent over the last 10 months.

Earlier this week, the Housing Secretary, Robert Jenrick, announced that a ban on bailiff-enforced evictions in England would be extended until 31 March, which means hundreds of thousands of tenants are living on borrowed time.

Millions of buy-to-let landlords and property investors have mortgages to pay and rely on the rental income from tenants. Retired residential property landlords with no mortgages are dependent on rental income to supplement their pensions in retirement.

• The coronavirus vaccine programme continues to go to plan

• New coronavirus variants do not fundamentally change the risk of lifting restrictions
