What does the abolition of the section 21 no fault eviction procedure mean for landlords and tenants?

Tue 31st Mar 2026

At present landlords are able to serve a s21 notice giving a tenant two months’ notice to vacate the property and no fault by the tenant needs to be proven. The Bill abolishes this procedure so that any landlord wishing to evict a tenant must prove one of the grounds under Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988 instead. Tenants however, will be able to move out upon giving 2 months’ notice to the landlord.
