Evicting section 21: what scrapping “no fault” evictions will involve
The government has announced plans to end "no fault evictions" under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988.
EG's deputy legal editor, Jess Harrold, joins Jeremy Stephen, associate director at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, to discuss the controversial proposals set to go under consultation.
Stephen considers the issues raised for tenants and landlords, the need for a clear vision on leasehold reform and the likely impact on the market - including the potential opportunities the move might offer for build to rent.
