How can we help?
If you are a landlord with a property in London and need to regain possession from a tenant, our specialist tenant eviction solicitors can guide you through the process.
Whether you are dealing with rent arrears, anti-social behaviour, a breach of tenancy, or need possession because you intend to sell or occupy the property, it is important to follow the correct legal procedure.
Section 21 'no fault' evictions were abolished for private landlords under the current English regime from 1 May 2026. Landlords now generally need to establish a legally recognised ground for possession and follow the Section 8 procedure.
