No
The government has made it illegal to evict a tenant for the next three months, at least for non-payment of rent. I imagine evicting a key worker for no reason is even more illegal.
Yes, you don't have to pay rent for three months if you like, although you will have to pay it back after that so no free rent, just deferred.
Same with the mortgage of the landlord, they can not pay it for three months.

So the landlady was preempting it.
