Renters served with notices to quit before the end of the month will not be forced to leave their homes during the term of the winter eviction ban, the Government has insisted.

Following the Cabinet's decision to introduce a moratorium on evictions until March 31, any person who has had a valid ‘no fault’ notice of termination served, will not have their tenancy terminated during the winter emergency period.
