I move amendment No. 187:

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

“PART 4

MISCELLANEOUS

“Amendment of section 34 and 56 of Act of 2004 - to abolish sale of a property as a ground for terminating a tenancy

26. (a) The Act of 2004 is amended by the deletion of paragraph 3 of the Table to section 34.

(b) Paragraph 4(b)(ii) of the Table to section 34 is amended by the substitution of “the ground specified in paragraph 1, 2 or 6 of this Table” for “the ground specified in paragraph 1, 2, 3 or 6 of this Table”.

(c) Section 56(c)(i) is hereby repealed.

(d) The Act of 2004 is amended by the deletion of subparagraph (c)(i) of the Table to section 56.”.

This amendment is to abolish sale of property as a ground for terminating a tenancy. It is a critical issue, which we will be marching to vindicate on 18 May. We hope there will be tens of thousands of people out marching for this demand. This is a critical measure to give security to tenants which is sadly lacking.
