  3. The Bill defines residential accommodation as the occupation of public premises by a person on the grant of a license for such an occupation. The license must be given for a fixed tenure or for the period the person holds office.
  4. The Bill adds a provision laying down the procedure for eviction from residential accommodation.It requires an estate officer to issue a written notice to a person if he is in unauthorised occupation of a residential accommodation.
