What does Section 8 possession really mean for landlords in today’s rental market? And how does it differ from Section 21 with the Renters’ Rights Act reshaping the lettings landscape?

In this episode of The Coping Mechanism, Daren Cope is joined by Annie Cope to break down Section 8 possession in clear, practical terms. Together, they explore when it can be used, the most common grounds, the legal process landlords must follow, and the risks of getting it wrong.

With the abolition of Section 21 on the horizon, understanding Section 8 is no longer optional - it’s essential.

Whether you’re a portfolio landlord, accidental landlord, or simply trying to future-proof your investment, this episode will help you navigate possession with confidence, clarity, and compliance.
