Renting

Section 21 Notice

Definition

A notice a landlord can serve to end an assured shorthold tenancy without giving a reason (often called a 'no-fault eviction'). Two months' notice is required. The Renters' Reform Bill proposes to abolish Section 21 notices entirely. A landlord cannot serve a valid Section 21 if the tenant's deposit is not properly protected.
