Business Tenancies Consultation Paper 1 - Models of Security of Tenure (Chapter 3) - Ministry of Justice

Models of Security of Tenure (Chapter 3)

Consultation Question 2: We invite consultees' views as to which model of statutory security of tenure they consider should operate, along with the reasons for their choice of model.

Mandatory security of tenure; No statutory security of tenure (abolition); Contracting-in (so that a tenancy only has statutory security of tenure if the parties opt into a statutory scheme); Contracting-out (so that a tenancy has statutory security of tenure unless the parties opt out of a statutory scheme) (the current model).

Please see paragraph 3.127 of the Consultation Paper.

Please give your reasons for your choice of model below

Consultation Question 3: We invite consultees’ views, together with evidence wherever possible, as to what impact a change to the model of security of tenure will have:
