Questions & Answers
A Section 21 notice is a legal tool landlords in England and Wales use to evict tenants without providing a reason, often called a "no-fault eviction." If you receive a Section 21 notice, it means your landlord wants you to leave the property after your fixed-term tenancy ends or during a periodic tenancy. The notice must be in writing and give you at least two months' notice. However, landlords must follow strict rules, such as providing valid gas safety certificates and protecting your deposit in a government-approved scheme. If the notice is incorrect or your rights are violated, you may challenge it. Always seek advice from a housing expert or solicitor if you’re unsure.
