I totally understand that tenants are worried about the prospect of landlords evicting them under the ‘no fault’ eviction ground known as section 21 (section 21 of the Housing Act 1988).
And I agree that many landlords have misused this right in the past.
However, I am not convinced that an immediate removal of that right will be for the long term benefit of tenants. As is being called for by Shelter and others.
In my opinion, and that of others, if the removal of section 21 is not done very carefully, it will simply make matters worse for tenants, not better.
