If you have been a landlord for more than five minutes, you know the drill. A tenant moves out, you walk into the property, and: poof: the pristine hardwood you laid down eighteen months ago now resembles a practice rink for a local hockey team.

As of May 2026, the abolition of Section 21 "no-fault" evictions has moved from a legislative proposal to a daily reality for every landlord and property manager in London and Kent.
