We have submitted evidence on the new Private Tenancies Bill. Our written submission makes a number of points and proposals for amendments, and we wish to see a number of clauses strengthened.
We have used our client experience to submit evidence to the inquiry into the experiences of ethnic minority and migrant people here in Northern Ireland, and our evidence demonstrates the barriers faced by people.
We have responded to the Department for Communities consultation on notice to quit.
The Private Tenancies Bill extends the notice to quit period from 28 days to 8 weeks, for tenancies lasting longer than 12 months. The 12-week notice period for tenancies of more than 10 years will stay the same. The DfC’s consultation is to investigate whether 8 weeks is enough time for a tenant to find a suitable home.
As we move towards the last few months of this Assembly mandate, Housing Rights is setting out priority areas for housing informed by the experience of people using our advice services. We have identified a set of key policy asks necessary to deliver good-quality, affordable, sustainable homes for people across Northern Ireland over the course of the 2022 – 2027 mandate
