What are your updates, ladies? I work in a room in a building that is shared and the other ladies there and I all asked the agent to ask the landlord if we could have the rooms rent free during lockdown as he expected us to still pay full rent. I said that I would be happy to pay (for the months untrading) on the condition we were back at work within 12 weeks. I also added that I would be willing to pay half the rent for now as the room wasn't being used, we don't know how long we'd be off, there might be a second wave, business will be slow etc. Expected the agent to just give reply of no, pay full rent (as he's an individual agent) but came back to us and said no need to pay for April, May and June!! I felt guilty and wanted to ask him if he wanted us to pay at least something but I wouldn't know if he took it all instead of giving to the landlord anyway because we pay him (agent). The rent will probably go up after this! Anyway, just goes to show you never know unless you ask. And bearing in mind the agent had told us our rent was the landlord's income, it's turned out a pretty interesting result....
