Similar to Amendment 165, Amendment 166 seeks to reduce the letting and marketing restriction when the moving and selling possession grounds have been used from 12 months to six. Specifically, this amendment focuses on when a claim form has been used to evict without notice—for example, if the court has waived the requirement for notice to be served on the tenant. As I have set out, the 12-month restricted period is a key measure to prevent abuse of the moving and selling grounds. Any reduction in this period would seriously undermine this protection and could reduce security of tenure for tenants.
