The ban was first proposed in 2019 to protect tenants from being unfairly evicted.

It outlined that landlords would not be able to serve a no-fault eviction notice without a reason such as selling the property, anti-social behaviour or if a family member wanted to move in.

Now, it has been confirmed that this ban has been delayed indefinitely.

The reason is that they feel the court systems would not be able to cope with the influx of cases that would come as a result of this new law.

At the moment, the courts are already struggling to cope so the delays and mismanagement of these cases could result in reduced rental stock.

It has been proposed that they will implement new systems in the courts so that they are better prepared to prioritize and deal with cases quickly and efficiently.

Some have argued that this would take years and are questioning why this is not already in motion from the time of the first proposal 4 years ago.

However, we think this may be for the best taking into account the current circumstances to give everyone time to get their head around this change and ensure the whole system is ready.

This does not mean we should be oblivious to the implications of serving a section 21, no-fault eviction notice on tenants.

It is especially important to understand the current market that renters are facing and understand that for some tenants, especially those with young children in schools, it would be extremely difficult to move in such a short time frame without causing huge upheaval for their children.
