The law is being applied and we have legislated for tenancies of unlimited duration, restricted the level of upfront payments required of tenants and legislated to increase the notice-to-quit period for tenancies of three years' duration or less. The minimum notice a landlord must give a tenant of less than three years' duration has been increased from 28 days to three months. Changes to the housing assistance payment will secure and expand tenancies.
