Where have we lost the idea that the fixed-term tenancy was the one where, if you had a crap landlord, things were bad or you complained about repairs, you were stuck? Periodic tenancies allow you to go on until you as the tenant decide, or the landlord has the circumstances that the grounds for possession will allow them to say, “I want to move my daughter in; I’m giving you the requisite amount of notice”. I feel that we are all understanding it differently, but I am sure the Minister will clarify. Talking about the expertise in the House, one person’s expertise could be seen out there as somebody’s special pleading. We sometimes have to be aware of that.
