Kent Reynolds and George Harrison – Section 21 and Section 8 Notice Podcast
Important editors note: From 1 May 2026, no new Section 21 notices can be served by private landlords in England to begin “no‑fault” eviction proceedings, following reforms introduced by the Renters’ Rights Act. This podcast was recorded in early 2025 and describes the law and practice as it stood before those reforms, including how landlords then used Section 21 and Section 8 notices.
For current guidance on evicting tenants and the effect of the reforms, please see our latest article or contact our team for tailored advice.
