Housing director Bernadette Chikwe is featured in the Law Gazette’s article highlighting the vulnerabilities of the under-resources legal ecosystem which sees housing law as one of the most exposed areas. Bernadette draws attention to some of the benefits of the recent Coronavirus Act 2020, which came into effect on 25 March, in which landlords must now give at least three months’ notice before they can start proceedings to evict tenants (an emergency measure in place until 30 September). “Clients do get more time, if, for example, they lost their jobs or were furloughed, to get their financial circumstances in order.” She says.
