Yes. Since 1 May 2026, Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions can no longer be used. Landlords must now use one of the legally defined grounds for possession, such as selling the property, moving into the property themselves or a close family member, or certain breaches of the tenancy agreement.
The notice period will depend on the ground being used and is usually four months, although some grounds have shorter notice periods. Please contact our office for advice on the appropriate procedure and notice period for your circumstances.
