The average debt renters owe because of the pandemic has increased by 41% since May this year, says the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA).

However, the NRLA works out this latter figure of being representative of nearly 433,000 tenants, and the total they owe has increased from an average of £900 in May to £1,270 by 30 September.
