- Temporarily prohibits landlords from ending tenancies in areas under Covid-19 travel restrictions (5km limit), except for anti-social behaviour or unauthorised non-residential use.

- Protects tenants already served notice pre-emergency by allowing them to remain until restrictions end, subject to existing tenancy terms.
