Tenants with problems paying rent due to Covid-19

COVID-19 – TENANTS WITH PROBLEMS PAYING RENT

If you have a problem with your tenant/s saying they are unable to pay their rent due to covid-19 and the lockdown, first ask them if they have approached Social Security for help.  If they have, and help is not available for them there, they need to specifically ask if they can get help from the Hardship Fund that has been set up.  This is managed by a different section within Social Security who they should speak to, see below.

The Covid-19 pages of the States website, covid19.gov.gg has a section at the bottom to click on called ‘Financial Support for Individuals’.  It gives contact details as email hardshipfund@gov.gg or phone 732516 between 8.30 and 4 pm Monday to Friday.
