What changed on 1 May 2026?

Section 21 abolished

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 abolished no-fault Section 21 notices from 1 May 2026. Landlords can no longer evict tenants without a valid legal reason.

New Form 3A required

Every Section 8 notice must now be served on the new Form 3A. The old Form 3 is no longer valid. Our generator produces a correctly completed Form 3A.

New mandatory grounds

New grounds were introduced including selling the property and owner occupation, previously only available under Section 21.

Court process still required

If the tenant does not leave by the notice expiry date, landlords must apply to the county court for a possession order. This notice is the required first step.
