Eviction-Ready Evidence Pack

What UK landlords need after Section 21

Section 21 is being phased out. This doesn’t mean landlords can’t regain possession — but it does mean that outcomes increasingly depend on evidence, not intention.

Most possession cases don’t fail because a landlord did nothing wrong. They fail because the paper trail is incomplete, inconsistent, or created too late. This free pack explains what decision-makers actually look for, and gives you simple, defensible tools to start keeping the right records now.

This pack helps you:

  • Understand what evidence actually matters post-Section 21
  • Record rent arrears clearly and defensibly
  • Demonstrate reasonable response to repairs and condition issues
  • Keep a professional record of tenant communications and follow-up
  • Avoid common mistakes that weaken otherwise strong cases
  • Spot where manual tracking becomes risky over time

Important note on certificates
Certificates (Gas Safety, EICR, EPC, licences) are not just about having documents — they are about continuous validity over time. This pack explains the risk, but it does not try to “solve” certificate continuity with spreadsheets. That’s intentional.
