Should landlords be allowed to evict tenants without providing a specific reason?

The UK government has debated banning "Section 21" notices, which currently allow landlords to evict tenants with two months' notice without providing any reason. Proponents of a ban argue it is essential to stop "revenge evictions" and provide stability for families renting their homes. Opponents, particularly landlord associations, argue that removing this mechanism will cause landlords to sell up and leave the market, ultimately reducing the supply of rental homes and driving up prices.

Abolish landlords

 @BDCVFMCanswered…2mos2MO

No but there should be something in place to protect both tenants and landlords which there isn’t. Even the new renters rights has flaws and can be abused.

 @BD4PWXFanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, as long as fits within terms and conditions of rental and fits within notice period

 @BCYR22Kanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but require a longer notice period and guarantee alternative housing for all renters who can't find it afford somewhere suitable themselves

 @BCMZG8Kanswered…3mos3MO

No, and all housing should be publicly owned

 @BC6XRC6 answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but only if said landlord can prove that they have been proactive with reasonable complaints and repairs.
