Ms Ann-Marie O'Reilly:

On the transfer, the law currently states that a landlord can evict if they are entering into an enforceable transfer for full consideration. Essentially, they can evict if they plan to sell the property. Under head 5, it is proposed to change that to them being able to can evict if they plan to transfer the property for no or partial consideration. That is where it becomes unclear. That could just be transferring the property to a family member or maybe a large company doing transfers within itself. That causes us concern. That would mean a landlord could evict somebody when engaging in that type of transfer. There are already plenty of reasons they can evict somebody so that does cause us concern.
