Some landlords say they were paying the tenant's share so they would not lose the rest of their payment. I was listening to what Joe Duffy was reading out all week. The landlords knew that if the tenant's 15% did not go in, the entire payment would be stopped. Therefore, some landlords said they were paying the 15% to make sure they got the 85% because they had a mortgage on their property.
