I turn to government Amendment 44, which introduces a small technical clarification to the drafting of Clause 8. As such, I do not need to take up too much of the House’s time. It provides that any terms in a tenancy agreement that require a payment of rent before it is due are of no effect. This amendment clarifies that this provision applies only to assured tenancies entered into after commencement. I commend Amendment 44 to the House.
