Eviction: Government to raise limit of rents assumed by the State
The government has proposed increasing the maximum rent values covered by the State when it intervenes in eviction proceedings to guarantee payments to landlords. The proposal also clarifies and extends the protection period for landlords, ensuring the State covers rents that fall due while an eviction process is suspended during a tenant's request for legal aid. The changes are currently being discussed in Parliament.
Why it mattersIf you are a landlord experiencing tenant non-payment, these proposed changes seek to increase the financial protection and the scope of state-guaranteed rent payments during the eviction process, though they are currently still under parliamentary debate.
