> section 21 For any other Americans who were shocked British landlords could evict with 2 months' notice for any reason, I did some googling and it turns out section 21 _does not apply during your lease term_. It seems like a section 21-eligible lease in the UK is just like a US a month-to-month lease that requires 2 months' notice for the landlord to end. (For the Brits reading this unfamiliar with US leases, this is an eminently normal thing to have happen to a lease in the US at the end of its fixed term.)

the fixed term has not ended") |

On a fixed lease, the landlord generally can't kick you out. But when a fixed-lease ends, unless it's explicitly renewed, it automatically becomes a month-to-month lease which can be ended by the tenant with one month's notice, or the landlord with two months notice. In my experience landlords prefer to renew as a fixed-term.
