3: Clause 1, page 1, line 11, after second “tenancy” insert “, unless the landlord and tenant have reached a voluntary extension agreement in accordance with subsections (1A) to (1F)” Member’s explanatory statement This amendment and another in the name of Lord Cromwell seeks to ensure on the face of the Bill that the tenant is able to request (after four months of occupancy) a voluntary extension agreement with a specified term. The tenant would retain the ability to leave on two months’ notice, and the landlord would voluntarily limit rights of recovery to the anti-social behaviour and not paying rent grounds, thereby incentivising an uninterrupted occupancy.
