(asked on 28th October 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many section 21 notices were served in each of the last (a) 12 months and (b) five years.
This question was answered on 5th November 2014
The Government does not collect this information.
A section 21 notice is a notice served under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988 by a landlord on their tenant which informs the tenant that the landlord requires possession of the property and that it must be vacated by the tenant.
The service of a section 21 notice, like any other termination of a contract, is a private matter between the landlord and tenant.
