Hiya, I'm in a similar situation to your grand daughter, I'm meant to move out of my student house on the 30th June in Sheffield, but my new tenancy doesn't start until the 9th July. We've been lucky enough to know the current tenants of the house, who have agreed that we cant store our belongings in the dining room as its not used much. However, it does seem incredibly unforgiving of the landlord to not be a little lenient given the circumstances, my landlord is giving us until the morning of the 31st to have all our stuff out. This was only we messaged him and had a discussion about the current climate that he agreed. A few of my friends, myself included, were hoping to camp or use an airbnb in the 9 day period, however, there doesn't seem to be any airbnb's available in the midlands region (!!!) nor are any of the campsites currently open, all very understandable. If I find any available spaces to stay, I'll be sure to pass on the information to you!
