I move amendment No. 185:

In page 33, after line 4, to insert the following:

“PART 4

MISCELLANEOUS

Amendment of sections 27, 28(1), 28(3) and 50(3) of Act of 2004 - to extend Part 4 protections to all tenancies over two months in duration

26.(a) Section 27 of the Act of 2004 is amended by the substitution of “continuous period of 2 months” for “continuous period of 6 months”.

(b) Section 28(1) of the Act of 2004 is amended by the substitution of “continuous period of 2 months” for “continuous period of 6 months”.

(c) Section 28(3) of the Act of 2004 is amended by the substitution of “expiry of the period of 2 months” for “expiry of the period of 6 months”.

(d) Section 50(3) of the Act of 2004 is amended by the substitution of—

(i) “continuous period of 2 months” for “continuous period of 6 months”, and

(ii) “expiry of that period of 2 months” for “expiry of that period of 6 months”.”.

This amendment provides that Part 4 tenancies should begin after a continuous period of two months, rather than one of six months.
