Getting rid of section 21 could mean that far fewer people become homeless because of the end of a tenancy.<\/li>\n<li>Applying ground 14A to private rented accommodation could help more survivors of domestic abuse remain in their property. Private landlords may need support if using ground 14A to ensure that doing so does not result in more harm for survivors.<\/li>\n<li>The proposed grounds would not be an appropriate substitute for Section 21 for homelessness accommodation. Unfortunately, as a last resort, we sometimes have to serve Section 21 notices if a tenant who no longer needs support or exceeds an age limit refuses to move out of our\u00a0 accommodation. We have suggested ways in which the proposals could be revised to take account of this type of accommodation.<\/li>\n<li>The proposals could result in landlords becoming less willing to let to people who have been homeless or are at risk of homelessness. This effect could be mitigated by incentivising more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a
