The amendment gives strength to the rights and responsibilities of both the landlord and tenant. If a tenancy is discontinued for reasons of misbehaviour or otherwise, I see nothing wrong with stating that in writing. The amendment is valid and would strengthen the Bill. I see nothing wrong with the amendment, despite the arguments put forward by the Minister of State. A requirement that a notice to quit a property should state the reason for the notice would strengthen the Bill and give it greater clarity.
