However one key thing that remains strong in a pandemic is that people need food and shelter. Many portfolio landlords are now more than ever realising the strong income generated from rental property as between 80% - 85% of their rental income is still being received in a time when the majority of the UK is experiencing a substantial cut in their monthly income.
