Property Guardian seeking advice

Posts: 5 Forumite
Hi, I am a property guardian living in a guardian property in Central London.
Due to COVID, my work has dried up - I don't think I'll be able to pay my licence fee for the foreseeable future.
Does anyone know if the govt guidelines on no evictions will apply to the guardian sector too?
I feel that given this is a more commercially driven and less regulated part of the rental sector, that I am not protected. Not mentioning to the guardian company themselves yet, as they can terminate my licence with 30 days notice.
Any thoughts or assistance appreciated.

I would keep an eye on the news and try to not get to concerned. I'm sure it will all become clearer within a few days. I guess my thought would be - how would they evict you?0

Thanks for the reply. No rent due until 1st April, so yeah I think sitting tight is perhaps the best way for the moment.JayRitchie said:I would keep an eye on the news and try to not get to concerned.

Isn't PG treated as an occupation rather than a residential status?1

My understanding reading between the lines is that the 'no evictions' will apply to tenants, specifically Assured Tenants and those with ASTs. But untilthe law is written, published and passed we are just guessing.It may extend to 'Excluded Occupiers' (lodgers), and/or guardians, though the latter is more doubtful....1

Hey, OP, my advice is you get a bit more like these guys:That's how it used to be.
