Renters Reform moves to Lords as sector calls for certainty

Renters Reform moves to Lords as sector calls for certainty

Section 21 and the Court System

The ban on no-fault evictions is the most high-profile part of the Renters Reform Bill and continues to dominate media coverage. The Bill now mandates an assessment of court readiness before abolishing Section 21.

Jacob Young MP stated that courts must be prepared, or tenants won’t benefit from the new eviction rules. The UK Government has allocated £1.2 million for the Courts and Tribunals service to create a new online possession service.

When questioned by Clive Betts MP, Chair of the Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities Committee, Young rejected the idea of a dedicated housing court, citing lack of support from the judiciary.

Young also mentioned the UK Government is considering prioritising serious eviction cases, such as those involving anti-social behaviour, and will explore options for this once the Bill gains Royal Assent. These changes are significant for rental tenants in and around Kidderminster.
