How the Equality Act 2010 is reshaping eviction strategy in the post-Section 21 landscape

In this podcast, Paul Sowerbutts, Head of Legal at Landlord Action and Sonia Rai, Barrister at Five Paper, explore how disability discrimination is increasingly impacting possession claims. With Section 21 set to be abolished, they discuss how tenants may raise Equality Act 2010 defences against eviction, particularly in cases involving rent arrears or anti-social behaviour. The episode highlights key legal risks, recent case insights, and why landlords must carefully consider proportionality and alternative actions before pursuing possession proceedings.
