- 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.
- Suspends notice periods during emergency period; time spent under restrictions does not count toward tenancy termination notice deadlines.
- Protects tenants already served notice pre-emergency by allowing them to remain until restrictions end, subject to existing tenancy terms.
