Eviction ban extended.
The government has announced a further extension to the current ban on bailiff-enforced evictions in England until May 31.
At that point, the ban will taper off. No details have been given as to how this 'taper' will take effect, with a government statement merely saying: "The government will consider the best approach to move away from emergency protections from the beginning of June, taking into account public health advice and the wider roadmap."
The requirement for landlords to provide six-month notice periods to tenants before they evict will also be extended until "at least 31st May" says Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick.
