Understanding Section 21 Notices

Legal Guidance

A Section 21 notice, also known as a "no-fault eviction" notice, is a legal document used by landlords in the UK to regain possession of a property at the end of an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) without specifying a reason for eviction. However, the process requires strict adherence to local laws and regulations. At Resolve Solicitors, we specialize in providing expert guidance to both landlords and tenants dealing with Section 21 notices, ensuring that their rights are protected and the process is carried out fairly and legally.
