Security of tenure - in this case, a tenant’s level of confidence that they will not be removed from their rented property without adequate notice – is important for tenants’ wellbeing and feelings of security. Of course security for tenants has to be conditional on their behaviour, on that of the landlord and on the general health of the rental housing sector. If freedom from eviction were to be guaranteed for life whatever the tenants did, and was not dependent upon regular payment of the rent, few landlords would ever invest in rental housing. Therefore, tenants’ security of tenure should be balanced with incentives for landlords to supply rental housing
