68: Clause 27, page 42, line 31, leave out from “tenancy,” to “being” in line 33 and insert “no notice of proceedings for possession under section 8 of the Housing Act 1988 (notice of proceedings for possession) may be given at a time when the deposit is not”
Member’s explanatory statement
This amendment and others in the name of Lord Shipley seek to prevent a landlord from serving a notice (under section 8 of the Housing Act 1988) to seek possession of a property where a tenancy deposit has not been properly protected or the relevant statutory requirements in relation to the deposit have not been complied with.
