New Eviction Laws Are Coming—Are You Prepared?

A Season of Change for Landlords

Spring is a time of renewal—and for UK landlords, it is also a season of change. With the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill set to abolish Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, the rental landscape is shifting, and that can feel overwhelming.

But don’t worry—you’re not alone. At Shergroup, we’re here to guide you through these changes, helping you stay in control of your property. Whether you’re uncertain about eviction notices, need help enforcing court orders, or want to fast-track possession through High Court enforcement, our experts have your back.

Together, we’ll navigate this evolving landscape and make sure you’re always prepared. Because no landlord should ever feel powerless over their own property.

What Landlords Need to Know About the Abolition of Section 21

With Section 21 set to be abolished, landlords will need solid legal grounds to evict tenants. This will make the eviction process longer and more complex. Early preparation is more important than ever.

At Shergroup, we ensure eviction notices are served correctly, keeping you compliant and minimizing delays in repossession.

What Happens After Serving an Eviction Notice?

Serving an eviction notice is only the first step. Many landlords underestimate the legal complexities that follow. From court proceedings to enforcement action, knowing the right steps can mean the difference between quick repossession and costly delays.

Our High Court Enforcement Officers (HCEOs) can fast-track possession orders, helping you regain control of your property much quicker than relying on County Court enforcement.

Smarter Alternatives: Mediation

Legal battles are costly, time-consuming, and stressful. Mediation can resolve disputes without stepping foot in a courtroom—saving landlords time, money, and hassle. It’s an essential tool for resolving disputes efficiently.
