The Law Society has set out exactly what the extension of the eviction ban means to agents, landlords and tenants. The society says:
- Courts are neither hearing nor progressing applications for possession orders made by landlords before March 24;
- This applies to all private or social housing tenancies
- There are exceptions: these include applications for
possession against trespassers
- Schedule 29 Coronavirus Act 2020 also remains in force meaning
landlords must provide tenants with a notice period of six months when issuing
a notice seeking possession;
- Tenants are still obliged to pay rent during this
period.
