    Consultation description

    The Department wants to test if the 8 weeks’ Notice to Quit is a sufficient timeframe to allow tenants to find alternative suitable accommodation and therefore has included a range of options to consider.

    A detailed piece of research was completed by the Chartered Institute of Housing on behalf of the Department and is summarised within the consultation document.
