UK Landlords Urged to Act Quickly on Section 21 Notices Before Deadline
UK landlords are being advised to act swiftly in serving Section 21 notices before the deadline of April 30, 2026. This urgency is due to the upcoming abolition of Section 21 notices as part of The Renters’ Rights Act 2025, which will take effect on May 1, 2026. Section 21 notices allow landlords to regain possession of a property without alleging tenant fault. After the deadline, landlords will need to rely on Section 8 grounds and potentially court proceedings to evict tenants. Property experts emphasize the importance of ensuring all statutory compliance, such as gas safety certificates and deposit protection, is in order before serving these notices to avoid delays and additional costs.
