Critics are calling for Section 21 evictions to be
banned, arguing that they tilt the balance of power towards landlords. However,
some landlords may leave the sector for fear they have no power over their own

serve a Section 21 notice, with more than half (56%) using it because their
tenant was in rent arrears. The Government has put forward a consultation on a
proposed introduction of a specialist “Housing Court”. It believes this will
provide greater access to justice for both landlords and tenants and give
landlords confidence to offer longer, more secure tenancies by making it easier
for responsible landlords to regain possession of their tenancy, should they
need to. Read more on the Property Reporter website.
