Time is ticking..... have a look at our post from last month about the changes to Section 21 and rented properties.

🚨 Important Update for Landlords: Section 21 Is Being Abolished 🚨

Major reforms are coming to the private rented sector in England — and landlords need to be prepared.

From 1 May 2026, Section 21 “no‑fault” eviction notices will be abolished under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. This means landlords will no longer be able to end a tenancy without providing a statutory reason.

Here are the key dates you must know:
📅 30 April 2026 — Last day to serve a valid Section 21 notice.
📅 1 May 2026 — Section 21 is abolished.
📅 31 July 2026 — Deadline to issue court proceedings for any previously served Section 21 notices between 1 February 2026 and 30 April 2026.

After these dates, landlords must use Section 8 grounds, which require evidence and may involve more complex legal processes.

If you’re a landlord considering recovering possession, reviewing your portfolio, or planning ahead for the upcoming changes, now is the time to act.

✨ Been Offered a Settlement Agreement by Your Employer?

If you’ve received a Settlement Agreement, it’s important to understand exactly what you’re being asked to sign. These documents can feel complex, but you don’t need to work through them alone.

At MacIntyre Law, we offer clear, prompt and confidential Settlement Agreement Advice to help you understand the terms and effect of the agreement.

We can help you:
✔️ Explain the terms in plain English
✔️ Clarify the legal effect of signing
✔️ Ensure you understand any obligations you’re agreeing to
✔️ Complete the required legal adviser’s certificate

For a settlement agreement to be legally binding, you must obtain independent legal advice on the terms and effect of the agreement.

Most employers contribute towards, or fully cover, the cost of this advice — meaning it is often free to you.
