I'm considering issuing a Section 21 notice due to a problem tenant; what are the exact procedural steps and common pitfalls to avoid to ensure it's legally valid in England since the Renters (Reform) Bill changes?
Quick Answer
As of December 2025, Section 21 requires two months' notice on Form 6A, served after the fixed term. Ensure deposits are protected and Gas Safety Certificates are provided to maintain validity, as the Renters' Rights Bill will eventually abolish this mechanism.
