Ein bwriad  gwreiddiol, pan lansiwyd cynllun Benthyciadau Arbed Tenantiaeth oedd y byddai’n weithredol tan 31 Mawrth 2021, gyda’r opsiwn o’i estyn petai angen. Wrth i’r pandemig barhau, a gyda chyfyngiadau’n dal i fod yn eu lle, mae llawer o denantiaid yn parhau i fyw ar incwm sy’n is na’u hincwm arferol. Rwyf hefyd yn ymwybodol iawn o’r cynnydd sydyn tebygol mewn achosion o droi allan wrth i’r ataliad ar hynny a’r cyfnodau estynedig ar gyfer hysbysiadau cymryd meddiant ddod i ben. Gyda hyn mewn golwg, ac o gofio’r anawsterau y mae llawer yn ei wynebu o hyd wrth dalu rhent, rwyf wedi cytuno i estyn y cynllun Benthyciadau Arbed Tenantiaeth am o leiaf chwe mis, tan 30 Medi.
Our original intention, when we launched the TSL scheme, was that it would continue until 31 March 2021, with the option to extend if needed. As the pandemic continues, and restrictions remain in place, many tenants continue to live with lower incomes than normal.  I am also acutely aware of the potential spike in evictions that will take place when the stay on evictions and extended notice of possession periods end. Given this and the difficulties many people are continuing to face in paying their rent, I have agreed to extend the TSL scheme for at least six months, until 30 September.
