Landlords in favour of a fast track housing tribunal

Almost four out of 10 landlords want the Government to introduce a fast track housing tribunal if the Section 21 no-fault eviction process is abolished as planned, a new survey has found. Overall 39% back a tribunal being introduced while 24% want to see a shorter court process for evictions, according to the latest private rented sector trend report from Paragon. The Section 21 no-fault eviction process was introduced in the Housing Act 1988 and has been a mainstay of the UK’s PRS. It allows landlords to give tenants two months’ notice of their intention to take possession of a property at any time after the initial fixed term of the tenancy agreement has expired.
