As we approach the end of Level 5 in lockdown, we are
anxiously awaiting clarity on what Level 4 means for landlords, tenants and
estate agents.
Together with our drafting attorneys, SSLR Inc. and Fullard
Mayer Morrison Inc., we have reviewed the draft regulations.
SSLR Inc. have made a submission to government on behalf of
the property industry, specifically to provide clarity on when tenants may move
house dependent on the lockdown level. We expect feedback by noon on Tuesday
the 28th of April.
Until the regulations and directives for Level 4 have
formally been published, no-one is in a position to make a definitive decision
on whether a tenant is able to move on the 1st of May, or on any of
the questions that are dependent on a decision still to be clarified by
government.
As it stands, there has been no change in terms of evictions
and the operation of the Sheriff; which effectively means a moratorium on
evictions.
As soon as we are able to definitively guide you on the way
forward in Level 4, we will update you immediately!
We can and we will find a way through these trying times
together.
