The Act abolishes section 21 evictions and fixed term tenancies. All tenants who would previously have had an assured tenancy or assured shorthold tenancy will move onto a single system of periodic tenancies. Tenants will need to provide two months’ notice when leaving a tenancy. Landlords will only be able to evict a tenant in reasonable circumstances as set out in this legislation.
	The Act also mandates that landlords must provide a written statement of terms setting out basic information about the tenancy and both parties’ responsibilities while retaining both parties’ right to agree and adapt terms to meet their needs.
