How does it affect me?
If you are a
tenant or a landlord, this would affect your rights if it becomes law.
The Paper proposes a new scheme for the termination of tenancies: the new
scheme would define the circumstances in which a landlord could terminate a
tenancy early, require the landlord to warn the tenant by giving written
notice, and give enhanced protection to those with interests in the tenancy.
