Landlord Action supremo Paul Shamplina has given Landlord Today readers a unique insight into the complexity of court reform before the abolition of Section 21.

Housing Secretary Michael Gove has pledged that on the one hand the Renters Reform Bill will go ahead and become law by the next General Election – which just be held at the Kate’s in January 2025.

On the other hand he’s pledged that getting rid of S21 – the centrepiece of the Bill – wont happen until court reforms which allow landlords to use more effectively alternative possession powers.

So how to square the circle? 

In a video interview Shamplina explains the long list of complicated and time consuming changes required to reform the courts.

 

The interviewer is Angels Media sales director Lee Dahill.
