Section 21 repossession claims fall, government data shows
Original Article Summary
Section 21 evictions hit a three-year low in 2025
PropMatch Curated Analysis
Government data shows Section 21 possession claims have fallen to their lowest levels since 2022 ahead of the Renters' Rights Act implementation on 1 May, contradicting industry warnings of increased disputes. The NRLA highlights this as evidence that fears about the Section 21 ban may be overblown.
Investor Relevance
Critical for all landlords as Section 21 abolition fundamentally changes eviction procedures, requiring adaptation of tenancy strategies, enhanced tenant vetting, and greater reliance on Section 8 grounds for possession.
