Residential Tenancies (Extension of Eviction Ban) Bill 2020

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Extends the Covid-19 eviction ban and freeze on rent increases for residential tenancies for six months after the law starts, with power for the Government to lengthen that emergency period if needed. It would stop landlords serving new termination notices during that time, push back eviction dates already set within it, and block rent rises. The aim is to give tenants more security during the emergency and prevent housing losses while public-health restrictions and their economic effects continue.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to extend the ban on evictions and rent increases and for that purpose to amend the Residential Tenancies Act 2004.
