As a repeat tenant - I greet these proposals with total horror. They will make tenancies far more expensive for me and the choice far more limited. IME, landlords DON'T WANT TO EVICT GOOD TENANTS. Indeed, will bend over backwards to keep tenants like me. Indeed, even the possibility of such legislation appears to have driven many would-be landlords out of the market. Two of the ten flats in my block are now just pied a terre for their owners - who used to let them out. They are flats that I might easily have rented myself. I know that the insurance costs in the service charges here have quadrupled in the last two or three years - a block of flats at flood risk not being considered at all, for most insurers. So one month of rent only covers the owner's share of that insurance. The block's windows and doors are being replaced by the property management company - my landlord's share of that is 35k. Yet they can charge no more rent than another owner, elsewhere, not facing such bills. It's a mug's game, being a landlord. That's before these changes. All the good landlords will be driven out. Leaving the ones that no tenant wants to experience.
