Will UK rent prices decrease due to all the deaths?

Sounds harsh, but likely true.

With 100K + dying due to Covid, will this decrease UK rent prices in the coming year or two, due to spare capacity of rooms, houses etc?

Will social tennants have to pay the bedroom tax if one of the occupants dies due to Covid?

No.

Plenty of care homes might go bust though.

That's true, but maybe they could then be rented out as flats/rooms - this would increase capacity and possibly reduce rents

The population is still rising due to migration.

Doubt anyone will want to come to the UK for some time though, with the double whammy of Covid and Brexit
