Yes, but only using a valid legal reason under Section 8 – since 1 May 2026, Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions have been abolished in England, all tenancies are now periodic, and a tenant can only be required to leave if the landlord relies on a specific ground, such as selling the property, moving in themselves, or rent arrears of three months or more.
Several grounds now require longer notice periods than they did before, while tenants have gained a general right to leave at any time by giving two months’ notice themselves. Hidden or confusing rent-increase terms have also been removed from leases, with rent increases limited to once a year via a formal Section 13 process.
A Section 21 or Section 8 notice served before 1 May 2026, based on a valid tenancy, can still apply if the landlord is able to proceed to court before the abolition date. Once such a notice is no longer valid, or the court process concludes, the tenancy automatically converts to an assured periodic tenancy, and the landlord then has one month to serve the tenant with the official Information Sheet explaining the new rules.
Because grounds for possession now need to be evidenced, and tenants can challenge rent increases at the First-tier Tribunal or raise complaints through the new Ombudsman, landlords are handling more formal paperwork with tighter procedural requirements than before. A stable, monitored correspondence address for receiving and responding to this paperwork – the same requirement that already exists under Section 48 – reduces the risk of a missed deadline undermining an otherwise valid case.
