| 1 | Has anyone had experience with this new legislation? I cant find anything on Tenancy Services website, apart from the statement below: The landlord can apply to end the tenancy if the landlord has given notice that a tenant has been at least five working days late with their rent payment on three separate occasions within a 90-day period. ann7 - 2021-01-25 10:49:00 |

| 3 | More info at this link, but what the Tenancy Tribunal will decide is anyone's guess. Conditional orders are quite common these days - immediate termination if the tenant does not comply with the conditions. artemis - 2021-01-25 13:51:00 |

There is a huge amount of confusion, no wonder Tenancy Services are overwhelmed. My understanding is that the new termination rules apply from 11 At the end of the fixed term, both parties can agree to a further fixed term but the new termination rules apply. artemis - 2021-01-25 13:58:00 |

| 6 | It means the landlord is a money lender without wanting to be. The tenant can do this up to 8 times a year and get interest free "payday loans" from their landlord. keys - 2021-01-25 15:06:00 |
