Amendment No. 39 extends notice periods from 90 days to 180 days. I have pretty much made the case for this earlier so I will not repeat the argument, but particularly in the current circumstances and generally as well, we need to give people more time because being forced to leave one's home is a big deal, it often puts people in great difficulty, and they should be given the maximum amount of time possible to find alternative accommodation.
