Robin Hood attraction 'may shut'

Following on from my post Rent free xmas this article is of some interest.

The item doesn't go into the history of the situation so I won't speculate on it, but it's also interesting that the tenant appears to be at the end of a chain of landlords!

Rent free Christmas

A commentator in the previous post suggested that landlords in and around Seaton, in particular those whose tenants are the local shopkeepers, might look to help said tenants.
These are difficult times, even the big successful retailers are attempting price cuts on a massive scale...so what would be in the interest of those landlords?

High street retailing is suffering no matter where you live in the UK, small businesses report difficulty getting support from banks, startups might well not happen this coming year... so come on landlords, a lower income is better than none at all, and you don't have to be the first..see here

+++update+++ Dorset Echo appear to have SNAFU'd the article; for those who missed it, the headline was...

A HOUSING company has given 2300 tenants a Christmas gift of two weeks’ free rent to help with the credit crunch.

Although a quick google reveals other locations looking at this idea.
