    What Is a Section 21 Notice?

    Kaizen Property ServicesPublished Updated 2 min read

    A Section 21 notice is the route landlords in England have traditionally used to seek possession of a property let on an assured shorthold tenancy without having to give a reason. Because no fault on the tenant's part had to be proven, it became widely known as a "no-fault eviction". Landlords still need to meet strict procedural and compliance requirements for a notice to be valid. This guide explains the basics in plain English.

    This preview will be expanded into a full Kaizen guide. This information is general guidance and is not legal or financial advice.
