What is a Section 21 Notice?

A Section 21 Notice is a legal document that allows a landlord to regain possession of their property, usually at the end of a fixed-term tenancy or during a periodic tenancy. It’s often referred to as a “no-fault” eviction, as you don’t need to provide a specific reason for asking the tenant to leave.

While it may seem straightforward, strict legal requirements must be met for the notice to be valid, including correct paperwork and compliance with landlord obligations. Our experienced eviction specialists can guide you through the process, offering fixed-fee services to ensure everything is handled smoothly, professionally, and with the best chance of success.

Our eviction process

We explain the eviction process below, including the legal steps we’ll take—such as serving a Section 8 or Section 21 notice and applying to court if necessary—to help you regain possession of your property in line with housing law.

Serve the required notice

We will serve the appropriate notice, whether a Section 8 or Section 21, and once issued, your tenant will be required to vacate the property.

Possession order claim

Once the required notice period has expired, if the tenant fails to vacate, we will initiate possession claim proceedings in court.

Instruct the bailiffs

Once the possession order is granted, the tenant has 14 days to vacate. If they fail to do so, we will instruct bailiffs or High Court Sheriffs to enforce the eviction.

Change the locks

Once your tenant vacates the property, it is advisable to have a locksmith change the locks on the same day to secure the premises.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Section 21 notice?

A Section 21 notice is a legal notice landlords can use to regain possession of their property, typically at the end of a tenancy. It’s often referred to as a “no-fault” eviction, as you don’t need to provide a specific reason for asking the tenant to leave. However, there are strict rules that must be followed for the notice to be valid.

How much notice must I give under Section 21?

The amount of notice required depends on the tenancy agreement and current regulations. In most cases, you’ll need to give a minimum notice period, but this can change depending on circumstances and legal updates. We can advise you on the correct notice period for your situation.

When can a Section 21 notice be served?

You can usually serve a Section 21 notice near the end of a fixed-term tenancy or at any point during a rolling (periodic) tenancy. However, there are certain rules and timing requirements that must be met to ensure the notice is valid. We can help you determine the best time to serve the notice to avoid unnecessary delays.

Do I need to use a specific form to serve a Section 21 notice?

Yes. A Section 21 notice must be served using the correct legal form. Any errors in the form or how it’s delivered can make the notice invalid. Our team can prepare and serve the notice for you to make sure everything is done properly.

Can I serve a Section 21 notice if I haven’t protected the tenant’s deposit?

No. If the tenant’s deposit hasn’t been correctly protected in a government-approved scheme, you cannot legally serve a valid Section 21 notice. This issue must be resolved before you can proceed. We can review your situation and advise you on the steps needed to move forward.

What documents must I provide before serving a Section 21 notice?

Certain documents must be given to the tenant, such as safety certificates and specific information about their tenancy, before a Section 21 notice can be served. Missing even one of these can make the notice invalid. We can check everything is in place to ensure your notice stands up legally.
