With the new bill coming into law later this year/ early 2026, a question:- is the only way to move tenants on (should they not have breached contract nor fall behind with rent arrears, aside from other specialist areas - student, employment, homeless accommodation), if a property is being sold, redeveloped or landlord moving in? As if so, tenants will have rights to stay in property forever until those points come into play. Aka no more section 21.
Intersted in views of is this interpretation right + is this reasonable.

I agree with @Catterbat , why, if a tenant is a good tenant, paying the rent etc, would you want them to leave unless you were selling or moving in? I have tenants who have been with me for many years, they are great, pay the rent and take care of the property, surely that is a landlords goal?

Can I ask why you’d want to move a tenant on who stuck by all the rules and paid rent on time, unless you were selling or moving in yourself?
