Section 21 Abolished: What Landlords Need to Know

Section 21 is gone: what now?

Abolished1 May 2026

Section 8legal grounds

Validitystill matters

Evidencewins cases

In short: Section 21 "no-fault" eviction notices can no longer be used in England for notices served on or after 1 May 2026. Landlords now need a Section 8 notice based on a legal ground, such as selling, moving in, rent arrears or anti-social behaviour, and a court order. Many of the old reasons a Section 21 failed, such as an unprotected deposit or missing safety documents, still matter for compliance, fines and claims. A valid Section 8 notice must use the right form, ground and notice period. Fraser Bond helps landlords get this right.

Old Section 21 pitfalls	Why they still matter
Deposit not protected	Penalty of 1–3× the deposit
No gas safety record	Criminal offence and fines
No EPC	Fines; minimum E rating
Licensing breaches	Fines and rent repayment orders
Wrong form or dates	Invalid Section 8 notices too

Compliance still counts
