Increasing the minimum notice period for a no fault eviction

We are consulting on:

• extending the minimum notice period from 2 months to 6 months 
• increasing the period at the beginning of a contract during which a landlord cannot give notice from 4 months to 6 months
• placing a 6 month restriction on issuing a notice following the expiry of a previous notice
• removing a landlord’s ability to end a fixed term standard contract (under section 186)
• the use of break clauses in fixed term contracts.
