Can you kick out a tenant who stops paying rent? UK landlords are struggling under stricter eviction laws — and with the Renters Reform Bill coming in, removing a bad tenant is about to get even harder. In this video, I’ll walk you through the step-by-step legal eviction process under current UK law, explain Section 8 vs Section 21, and reveal the traps landlords fall into that can delay eviction by months — or get thrown out by the courts completely.

I’ll also explain how to recover unpaid rent, what to do if your tenant is on Benefits, and how to protect yourself legally from the start. ENJOY!!
