Record number of renters seeking help with no-fault evictions

Citizens Advice says landlords may be issuing section 21 notices before practice is banned in England

A record number of renters need help with no-fault evictions, suggesting landlords may be pushing cases through before the practice is banned in England under new legislation.

Citizens Advice said last month it helped almost 2,000 people with section 21 evictions, the most in a single month on record and a 25% increase since May 2022.
