In the news this week, NRLA slams Citizens Advice for ‘misleading’ report. It looks like the National Residents Landlords Association aren’t happy with Citizens Advice after they released a report stating that 2.6 million private renters have missed a rent payment or are expected to do so as a result of the pandemic. 

 

However when you read further into the article, there were 25 people who said that they have missed a payment and 74 who said that they’re expecting to fall behind on payments.

Once again, it shows that you shouldn’t believe the headlines.
