- From 1 June, notice periods in England have reduced from 6 to 4 months. If the roadmap out of restrictions continues to plan, notice periods will return to pre-pandemic levels by 1 October 2021.
- As of 31 May, the evictions ban in England has also now come to an end, meaning that bailiffs and high court enforcement officers can begin operating again for all cases. From 1 June, bailiffs can now send out eviction notices and enforce evictions. Where an eviction does take place, this will be scheduled with at least 14 days’ notice.
- Guidance has been updated to reflect the changes: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-and-renting-guidance-for-landlords-tenants-and-local-authorities?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications&utm_source=a3983474-ad4b-43d7-9e5c-87bfe5a6626e&utm_content=daily
