Section 21

The law around recovering possession of a privately rented property is set to change on 1 May 2026.

It is therefore now the last chance for private landlords to issue Section 21 notices on their tenants before the upcoming UK housing reforms significantly change the landscape for landlords by abolishing Section 21 “no-fault” evictions.

Our team understands that when tenants cause problems this can have serious financial implications for landlords. Our advice is proactive and practical – we have a wealth of experience in resolving these issues and can advise on the best way forward for a landlord.

We regularly represent landlord clients in Court proceedings to recover possession of property (with or without recovery of rent arrears).
