An eviction ban has been extended until March – meaning renters in Gedling borough will remain protected ‘during this difficult time’.
The extension means eviction notices – which could have started again on February 22 – cannot be served for another six weeks.
Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick said the latest extension has been put in place to ensure renters remained protected.
The eviction ban had already been extended from January 11 when it was originally due to expire.
Mr Jenrick said the ban on the enforcement of evictions by bailiffs would continue “in all but the most serious cases”.
The Housing Secretary added that the government had taken unprecedented action to support renters during the Covid pandemic, and that measures had struck “the right balance between protecting tenants and enabling landlords to exercise their right to justice”.
