⚠️ Important Notice: Section 21 is Abolished from 1 May 2026
As a result of the Renters' Rights Act, Section 21 "no-fault" evictions will be abolished from 1 May 2026. After this date, Section 21 will no longer be applicable and landlords will need to rely on Section 8 grounds for possession instead. We will be updating this page after 1 May 2026 to reflect the new legal position.
