<p>This Government has provided an unprecedented package of support to renters, and
it has made a real impact. The vast majority - 91% - of renters are up to date with
their rent.</p><p>However, we have kept in place longer notice periods of four months
until the end of September, giving people who need it the time to agree a way forward
with their landlord.</p><p>For renters who require additional support, financial measures
remain in place. We have made available £140 million this year for local councils
to help people pay their rent through Discretionary Housing Payments, and we extended
the Job Retention Scheme and the £20 weekly uplift in Universal Credit until the end
of September.</p>
