Can a Student Be Evicted for Breaking a Tenancy Agreement?

Yes, a student can be evicted for breaking a tenancy agreement. If a tenant, including a student, fails to follow the terms of the agreement—such as not paying rent, causing damage, or disturbing neighbors—the landlord may take steps to evict them. This process usually involves serving a notice, like a Section 21 or Section 8 notice, depending on the situation. A Section 21 notice is used when a landlord wants the property back after the fixed term ends, without needing a specific reason. However, proper legal procedures must be followed, and tenants have rights to challenge the eviction if it’s unfair or incorrect.
