Section 21 Demise Makes Regaining Possession Tougher, Poll Suggests

A poll reported by Landlord Today suggests that regaining possession of rental properties has become tougher for landlords following the end of Section 21. The report states that Section 8 is now the only legal means of eviction for landlords.

This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as changes to eviction processes may impact tenancy management and property turnover. The shift away from Section 21 could affect how possession cases are handled in the private rented sector.
