After years of campaigning and lobbying by tenant groups the Government has committed to huge changes for landlords when evicting tenants.

This includes most controversially binning Section 21 notice evictions, which enable landlords to give notice to tenants without naming a ‘fault’, commonly known as no-fault evictions.

These are used most often to remove tenants who have stopped paying the rent and built up significant arrears, or who are behaving badly or breaking their rental contracts in other ways.
