A ban on bailiff-enforced rental sector evictions in England will end on May 31, the Government has confirmed.
The ban was introduced as an emergency measure during the coronavirus pandemic.
Bailiffs have been asked not to carry out an eviction if anyone living in the property has Covid-19 symptoms or is self-isolating.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said renters will continue to be supported as national Covid-19 restrictions ease.
As part of a phased approach, notice periods – which were previously extended to six months as an emergency measure during the pandemic – will be set at four months from June 1.
