Landlords will have increased equity in their buildings which will offset any rent arrears so will continue to enjoy the government supported risk-free rental income as they always have

Increased equity doesn't pay the mortgage. So they have to sell to realize that 'increase' to offset their rent losses. Everybody sells - prices go down - landlords lose out as well.

Nobody is winning here.
