Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the criteria are for extending the notice period for tenants where leases with Annington Homes are terminated by his Department.
The terms of the Common Law Tenancy (CLT) agreement governing the leases stipulates 'two months' notice after the first four months occupancy'.
In respect of the 367 civilian sub-let tenants recently issued with termination notices, 17 have found alternative accommodation, and for all the remaining 350 tenants the Department has decided to extend the notice period to 12 months, expiring at the end of September 2021.
This extension of the notice period reflects the unique current circumstances faced by tenants.
