Is this the end of no-fault eviction notices? - by Robert Pearson

Successive governments have tried to grapple with the issue of trying to find the right balance between the interests of residential landlords versus the rights of their tenants. The government announced on 15 April 2019 that they intend to abolish so called “no-fault” evictions under Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988. Currently, Section 21 allows landlords to terminate tenancies after the fixed term of the tenancy has expired by giving the tenants two months’ notice. This led to concern that landlords were terminating tenancies too readily, and leaving tenants having to find alternative accommodation in a relatively short space of time, with all of the attendant costs and inconvenience involved. There was also a concern that if tenants raised issues relating to the condition of the property, landlords were too quick to simply serve notice to terminate the tenancy if the fixed term had expired albeit that tenants have had some protection against such “retaliatory evictions” since October 2018.
