"Solicitors have reported a dramatic increase in last-minute requests for section 21 eviction notices as the Renters' Rights Act approaches. Mustafa Sidki from Thackray Williams noted a fourfold increase in instructions this year compared to last year, indicating a frantic rush among landlords to evict tenants before the new legislation takes effect."
"Citizens Advice has seen a significant rise in individuals seeking assistance with no-fault evictions, helping 2,335 people in March alone, which is a 16% increase from the previous year. This surge reflects the urgency and desperation faced by many tenants as the deadline for the new rules looms."
"The logistical challenges of serving eviction notices on time have led landlords to pay for hand delivery services. Solicitors are advising landlords that posting notices may not meet the deadline, prompting them to either deliver the documents personally or hire process servers to ensure compliance with the new law."
Solicitors in England are experiencing a surge in requests for last-minute section 21 no-fault eviction notices ahead of the Renters' Rights Act implementation. This legislation, considered a significant change in renting, prohibits no-fault evictions, limits rent increases, and abolishes fixed-term tenancies. Citizens Advice reported a 16% increase in people seeking help with no-fault evictions. Law firms are working long hours to accommodate landlords' urgent requests, with some landlords opting for hand delivery of eviction notices to meet deadlines.
