Getting rid of eviction powers under Section 21 could impact on landlord numbers
Propertywire | February 05, 2019
A ban on Section 21, the process where landlords start an eviction, could have a negative impact on the private rented sector, new research suggests. The industry is currently awaiting the outcome of a Government consultation on the creation of a Housing Court which could see changes to or the removal of Section 21 along with mandatory longer tenancies. But a poll carried out by Landlord Action suggest that without the ability to use Section 21 landlords may sell up and leave the private rented sector for fear they have no power over their own property.
