MHCLG released new guidance for landlords and tenants. The main change is that they have removed specific guidance regarding on-site canteens and restaurants within retirement and care settings.

Whilst this may not have a huge impact for your tenants, it may affect tenants renting privately owned properties in a care home or a retirement home with communal areas and on-site canteens. From 17 May 2021 these areas  were able to open. 

We would still advise tenants to take the approach to schedule access to shared spaces such as kitchens and living areas in the provided accommodation to limit crowding and promote social distancing.
