<p>The Government is committed to modernising the private rented sector and intends
to introduce a new, fairer deal for both landlords and tenants.</p><p>Following the
recent announcement to put an end to ‘no-fault’ evictions by repealing section 21
of the Housing Act 1988, we will shortly publish a consultation on the details of
our package of reforms. We will use the consultation to test whether specific provisions
for different types of housing, such as student accommodation are wanted or needed.</p><p>Landlords
will still be able seek possession using existing grounds under section 8 of the Housing
Act 1988, including the ground relating to accommodation tied to employment. These
reforms will allow the flexibility for renters to move, including for work, if they
wish. Tenants will still be able to choose to end the tenancy, as long as they provide
requisite notice to the landlord, retaining the flexibility we know is important to
some renters.</p>
