Renters’ Rights Act: My tenant owes £15,000 in rent, but I can’t get them out of the property

Currently, under a so-called Section 21 notice, a landlord can evict a tenant without giving a reason – and with just eight weeks’ notice. The new legislation will restrict landlords to a handful of legal reasons for evictions, including wanting to move back in, anti-social behaviour by tenants or persistent rent arrears.
