Recommendation 3

We recognise that the majority of private landlords are responsible and have no desire or financial incentive to evict tenants without good reason, and that for these landlords section 21 feels like an indispensable means of evicting bad tenants, but the blight of unfair eviction and insecurity of tenure experienced by too many tenants today can only be remedied by its repeal. We remain concerned, however, that the proposed sales and occupation grounds, as currently designed, could be too easily exploited by bad landlords and become a backdoor to no-fault evictions.
