With the Renters (Reform) Bill abolishing Section 21, what are the *specific, practical grounds* landlords will be able to use to regain possession of their property from problematic tenants once the new system is in force, and how long will the new eviction process typically take compared to current Section 8?
Quick Answer
Once Section 21 is abolished in 2025 by the Renters (Reform) Bill, landlords will use expanded Section 8 grounds for possession, such as two months' rent arrears or landlord occupation. The new process focuses on mandatory grounds within the court system, potentially impacting eviction timelines.
