Government Announces Another Extension To Evictions Ban

The MHCLG has confirmed that it is to extend the ban in England on evictions to 20 September and will also introduce six-month long notice periods that will run until 31 March 2021. The ban, which was announced in March because of the Coronavirus pandemic, is currently due to end of 23 August. It has also been confirmed that once the courts do re-open, only serious cases including those involving anti-social behaviour and domestic abuse will be prioritised. The further four-week extension will allow for further work to be done to prepare before the ban is lifted and mean that landlords will continue to be unable to start proceedings to evict tenants.
