Renter’s Rights Bill and No-Fault Evictions

The King’s Speech on 17 July 2024 promised a number of changes to the current state of leasehold and rental law – some of which we have covered in previous articles. Here we will discuss the proposed changes to No-Fault Evictions under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988.

Currently, once the contractual term of an assured shorthold tenancy ends, landlords can evict tenants without providing any reason. They just need to serve a “Section 21” notice on their tenants, providing a minimum of 2 months’ notice and satisfy certain pre-conditions. If the tenant does not leave during the notice period, they can issue court proceedings to obtain possession. Proceedings for possession cannot be commenced less than six months after the s.21 notice is given (with exceptions).

The King’s Speech confirmed that the government will ban no fault evictions as part of the Renter’s Rights Bill. This is part of a plan to give greater rights and protection to people renting their homes.

The Bill is currently at the report stage in the House of Commons, having had its first and second readings and has now passed through the committee stage with some amendments.

Significant Changes for Landlords and Tenants being Introduced by Renters (Reform) Bill

A new Bill which will fundamentally change the way renting residential property in the UK works is currently going through its second reading in the House of Commons.

If enacted, Assured Shorthold Tenancies will be scrapped and all new tenancies will be Assured Periodic Tenancies. The Section 21 ”No fault” process for recovering possession will no longer exist and so landlords will only be able to recover possession by using the existing Section 8 procedure and proving their ground for recovery of possession.  It is proposed that new grounds for recovery of possession will be added including where the landlord wishes to sell the property.
