The protection was originally due to expire on 30 June.<\/p>\n<p>The decision was made by the Government after Bira shared information supplied by business owners in a recent members\u2019 survey.<\/p>\n<p>The survey revealed that <strong>fewer than half of those who had discussed rental payments with landlords during the UK-wide lockdown saw a positive outcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More than 80% (83.4%) of those who responded to the poll said they had discussed rental payments with landlords. However, just 41% had received a positive response.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Almost one third (28.7%) had said their landlords would offer them no help, while 3.7% said they had been threatened with legal action.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Quarterly rents for the next three months to 29 September are due on 24 June, although analysts cited by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Financial Times<\/a> said they expect landlords to receive just 10% of rent owed this Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Goodacre, Bira\u2019s CEO, said: \u201cBira welcomes the extension to the moratorium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was clear that retailers needed more protection and this moratorium goes some way to achieving that. <strong>We hope now that landlords will work with tenants to find a mutually acceptable solution.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/subscribe-now\/?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=insight_button&amp;utm_content=insight_button_0719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-143500 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/THE_INSIGHT_1200x260-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"260\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":139021,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16042,10585,6,10494],"tags":[16340,16339,17353,5202,5707,20011,10561,3588,19075,19008,35],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
