概要

 In this episode, Nick takes a look at the significant changes coming to the UK rental market with the abolition of Section 21, effective May 1st. Nick breaks down the transition from fixed-term to rolling tenancies and the increased reliance on Section 8 for property repossession. He details the specific mandatory and discretionary grounds landlords can now use, including moving back into a property, selling, or addressing serious rent arrears and anti-social behavior. Nick also highlights the new ‘anti-churn’ safeguards and the potential challenges posed by a more formal, court-heavy eviction process. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-renters-rights-act-information-sheet-2026 KEY TAKEAWAYS From May 1st, landlords can no longer ask tenants to leave simply because a fixed term has ended; all tenancies will transition to rolling tenancies. Possession of a property now requires proving specific grounds in court under Section 8, categorised as either mandatory (where a judge must grant possession) or discretionary (where a judge decides if it’s reasonable). Landlords have specific mandatory grounds for taking back a property for personal use, selling, or redevelopment, each typically requiring a four-month notice period. The threshold for serious rent arrears has increased to three months (up from two), and a new ground (8A) has been added to prevent ‘tactical payments’ by tenants to stay below the eviction threshold. The ‘accelerated procedure’ is gone; all eviction cases now require a court hearing, which may lead to significant backlogs in the court system. BEST MOMENTS "You can no longer ask a tenant to leave simply because their fixed term has ended because they’re not on a fixed-term tenancy; they’re on a rolling tenancy." "If you evict a tenant using ground one or 1A [moving in or selling], you are prohibited from re-letting or marketing the property for 12 months. You can get a fine of up to £7,000 from your local council." "Ground 14 is discretionary. This is easier to claim but harder to win, as a judge decides if eviction is a proportionate response." "The accelerated procedure used for Section 21 is gone. All cases now require a hearing." "I have a feeling the court system will be backlogged. I hope I’m wrong, but you need to be aware of it."
