The winter "trève" is over

Today (31st March) sees the end of the law which prevents landlords evicting tenants during the winter. Generally the restriction (known colloquially as a truce) runs from November to March and in most cases involves non-payment of rent, though other breaches of contract are also involved.
Today also sees the passage into law of the ban on one-time plastic bags in shops and markets, presumably to be replaced by recycled paper bags and other degradable material. The law comes into effect on July 1st.
