My question follows on from that of Deputy McAuliffe. I know many good tenants and landlords, and also some rogue tenants and landlords. When the level 5 restrictions were put in place, it was announced that there would be a rent freeze. Some people thought, on the basis of the information that went out there, that they did not have to pay rent during this period, and subsequently got themselves into difficulty. Currently, if notice is given for a tenant to leave a property, they have five days from that date in which to raise a dispute. Is that correct?
