With the Renters Reform Bill's move to periodic tenancies, what are the new legal grounds for possession I can rely on to evict problematic tenants, and how do they compare to current Section 8 grounds in terms of notice periods and court process?
Quick Answer
The Renters' Rights Bill abolishes Section 21 and introduces new, revised Section 8 grounds for possession. Landlords will need to adhere to specific notice periods and build a robust case for court, which can still be a lengthy process.
