Paul Bradshaw has given his tenants a five-month rent holiday and told his friends on Twitter about it but now it’s gone viral, he tells LandlordZONE.

Landlord Paul Bradshaw – husband of Olympic
pole-vaulter Holly Bradshaw – has inspired landlords around the world by giving
his tenant a five-month rent holiday.

The Loughborough-based landlord, a national
trainer at UK Anti-Doping, told his Twitter followers and friends: “Yesterday I
knocked on my tenant’s door and told him he could stay in the property rent
free for five months.

He is self-employed with four kids. I don’t need Boris to tell me what is morally correct. Landlords, if you can do more, do something. Hashtag COVID19. Hashtag BeNice.”

128,000 retweets

Bradshaw said he’d made the decision jointly
with wife Holly and tweeted the news on Sunday. The tweet has now received more
than 700,000 likes and been retweeted more than 128,000 times. His move has
inspired hundreds of positive messages as well as some from other landlords
saying they planned to do the same.

He tells LandlordZONE: “I’ve had people from
all over the world messaging, saying they have done a variety of things. From
just making the effort to make contact with their tenants, to also offering
payment holidays.”

Bradshaw adds that landlords should do what
they can and forget about profits. “Right now, it’s about as many individuals,
businesses and families making it through this as close to break-even as
possible!”
