Responding to the Home Secretary’s announcement that 100,000 additional Ukrainian refugees will be allowed to come to the UK, Ben Beadle, chief executive at the National Residential Landlords Association, said: “The scenes unfolding in Ukraine have been shocking. It is right that the UK provides all the support needed to those fleeing the conflict.

“We urge all private landlords to consider what accommodation they might have available to house those who want to come here. To assist with this, it is vital that the Government swiftly provides details as to how landlords can easily register properties that might be suitable for those who need homes.”
