Contingencies Fund Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kevin Hollinrake (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Contingencies Fund Bill.

May I take the hon. Gentleman back to his point on rented accommodation? He is right that at the moment, all landlords should show forbearance when people are in difficult financial circumstances, and the Coronavirus Bill will increase the notice period to end an assured shorthold tenancy from two to three months. He is a fair man, so does he agree that we must be fair to both sides? If a tenant is unfairly withholding rent from a landlord, and it takes eight months to get a case to court at the moment, that is not very fair on the landlord. We have to be fair to both sides.
