The number of private landlords issuing court claims to evict their tenants under Section 21 is up 35% in a year. Ironically, the increase has been partly attributed to the government’s plan to abolish Section 21 agreements, which enable private landlords to repossess their properties without having to establish fault on the part of the tenant, hence it is sometimes referred to as the ‘no-fault’ ground for eviction. Unfortunately for many tenants, the government’s move to make renting more secure in the long term by abolishing Section 21, has meant many are having to leave their homes in the short term as landlords sell up. This means not only will tenants have to deal with the upheaval of moving but they will be re-entering a rental market with high rents driven by inflation and a shortage of available properties. Because of this, many tenants are struggling to find alternative accommodation and landlords are having to resort to the courts in order to evict them. THP Solicitors provides a brief guide to the process a landlord must follow to repossess their residential property if they use the Section 21 ‘no fault’ process.
