Landlord advice & tenant eviction solicitors

Even experienced landlords and managing agents can find possession and eviction matters complex. With the introduction of the Renters Rights Act 2025, the legal landscape has changed significantly, removing section 21 “no-fault” evictions and replacing them with a new statutory framework for recovering possession.

Our solicitors advise landlords across England on navigating the new regime with confidence. We provide clear, practical guidance to ensure every step of the possession process is handled lawfully, efficiently, and with minimum risk.

Recovering possession under the Renters Rights Act 2025

Under the new legislation, residential tenancies are open-ended. Landlords can only recover possession by relying on specific statutory grounds, each with its own notice periods and evidential requirements.

Common grounds include:

• Selling the property.
• Landlord or close family occupation.
• Persistent rent arrears or breach of tenancy obligations.
• Serious antisocial behaviour.
• Compliance with enforcement action or licensing requirements.

Because the new system is highly procedural, early legal advice is essential to avoid invalid notices, delay, or failed claims.

How our solicitors support landlords

Our residential property solicitors provide up-to-date, practical advice at every stage of the possession process.

We assist landlords with:

• Preparing and serving lawful possession notices under the correct statutory grounds.
• Issuing and managing possession proceedings through the courts.
• Securing and enforcing possession orders.
• Recovering rent arrears and associated costs.
• Ensuring compliance with deposit protection, registration, and safety obligations.

We work closely with landlords, letting agents, and property managers to protect your interests and achieve the quickest, most cost-effective outcome possible.

Fixed-fee possession advice

For certain possession claims, including those based on rent arrears or breach of tenancy, fixed-fee arrangements may be available.

Where properties are managed by agents, our fixed-fee schemes provide cost certainty and a clear framework for handling possession matters efficiently. Transitional arrangements remain available for existing assured shorthold tenancies while the new regime is fully embedded, with updated packages introduced as the legislation takes effect.

Your property management company can contact us directly to discuss eligibility and options.
