Nearly Legal: Housing Law News and Comment

Eviction ban in England to be extended.

As noted in the previous post, the Govt has announced that the ban on evictions in England will be extended to the end of March 2021. It was due to end on 22 February.

The regulations putting this into effect have not been made public yet. We will have to see if there are further changes to the exceptions, as there were in January.

For those concerned that the usual procedure of dropping new regulations on us on the afternoon of the working day before they go into force has not been followed here – as the announcement gives a whole week’s notice –  I would point out that we haven’t seen the regulations yet, so it is still possible for the timing of those to comply with the Coronavirus (Last Minute Changes to Housing Law) (Procedure) Regulations.
