Section 21 eviction notices have been served on 150 residents on a block of flats in Deptford, South London, weeks before Christmas.

A Section 21 is a legal method for the landlord to require a tenant to leave a rental property without the need to provide a reason for "no-fault" eviction. A tenant can challenge it and stay in the property until physically evicted, but they may incur court costs.

Even with a Section 21 notice, it can take landlords 6 to 12 months to evict a tenant who refuses to move out – often under advice for their local council’s housing or “homeless prevention” department.

The owners of the property, the Aitch Group said a Section 21 notice had been issued to tenants at the Vive Living development to "facilitate the refurbishment of the building".

"The tenants have been given two months' notice, as a minimum, in accordance with their tenancy agreements.".

The eviction notices may have been prompted by Labour’s Renter’s Rights Bill, currently going through Parliament, which will abolish Section 21 “no fault” evictions.

Many landlords are quitting the buy-to-let property market or switching to other rental models, such as AIRBNB serviced accommodation or leasing to local authorities and housing associations.

How will Labour’s new Renters Rights Bill 2024 affect buy-to-let landlords?

The Labour Party’s Renters' Rights Bill 2024 is poised to bring significant changes to the UK’s rental market, impacting both tenants and buy-to-let landlords. Understanding these changes is crucial for landlords to navigate the evolving landscape effectively.
