Guide to the end of Section 21 and the Renters’ Rights Act
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 is the biggest reform to renting in England for more than thirty years. It means that evictions must now follow the Section 8 process with clear evidence-based grounds for possession. We explore what that looks like in practice.
The eviction process
Evicting a tenant lawfully means following the correct process to the letter - the right notice, served the right way, with the right paperwork behind it. With Section 21 evictions no longer in use, understanding your grounds under Section 8 is more important than ever.
These guides walk you through the process step by step, including what the abolition of no-fault evictions means for you. Legal expenses cover can fund the repossession proceedings if you need to go to court.
How to evict a tenant: a guide to the new rules
Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions no longer exist, which means you cannot evict a tenant because their tenancy term has ended, and the only eviction method is to issue a Section 8 notice. We explain the new rules and what that means in practice for landlords.

What is a Section 8 notice?
Here, we look at Section 8 notices in more detail and the circumstances in which they can be used. For example, Section 8 notices are typically served when tenants are in arrears.
What is a no-fault eviction? A guide for landlords
The Government are set to abolish Section 21 ‘no-fault evictions’ in the coming months. We take a look at what this means for landlords, and the grounds they can still use to evict.
Difficult situations
Some situations fall outside the standard eviction route: squatters, abandoned properties, sitting tenants, and commercial tenancies all follow their own rules, and the wrong approach can make things worse.
These guides explain your options in the situations you, as a landlord, hope you never face, and highlight the legal routes available.
Resolving disputes
Most disputes don’t need to end in eviction. Rent arrears handled early, problem behaviour addressed constructively, and clear communication resolve the majority of issues and protect the tenancy you’ve invested in building.
These guides cover early-stage options, and where the line sits on landlord harassment, so your actions stay on the right side of it. To protect your income while a dispute is resolved, rent guarantee insurance keeps the rent coming in.
