How will this effect landlords who genuinely want to sell and exit the market.

Is that deemed a reasonable reason to issue a notice?

Like I said on the other thread, I expect the exceptions will be similar to Scotland and allow for a sale. But it's all guesswork until it goes through Parliament.

Watch the supply of rented properties decline even further prompting more handwringing..

As Hayek said "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

It doesn't matter if they are rented or for sale, there will still be the same number of houses.
More needs to be built. Houses are now smaller, compared to decades ago. But is there adequate provision for really poor people?
Some of these slum landlords provide a house for numerous people, that cannot get proper housing.

So what does this actually mean for landlords that want to evict ‘good’ tenants?

Why would they want to do that? There will be exceptions, I expect similar to those in Scotland (for moving back in, selling, etc).

I think there may be a large gap between what the law perceives / defines as a good tenant and what an accidental landlord considers a good tenant to be !.

Now there's an oxymoron. If the landlord was considering then they would not be accidental. 

The system requires effective provision and management, not people that stumbled into it and find that the wonderful plentiful endless income stream that was professed on the great tv shows does not come by accident but by clear understanding, planning and communication.

If this clears some people out and ensure that standards improve and professional services are now provided all the better.

It matters an awful lot if you are trying to rent; renting will without question become harder and more expensive unless the new laws are accompanied by other policies that encourage more rental properties to be built.

We expect this to add LL's being more choosey and 20% increase in rents as a finger in the air

The fewer so called "accidental" landlords in the market the better I say.  If they will be the ones selling up their properties due to these new regulations, then that's a good thing.

A lot of the time there are faults but with my current and only ever s21 did not have the patience to use s8.

The court system is already flawed, now awaiting bailiffs which I have been told can be 12-16 weeks currently.

Don't think it will be implemented as the system is already struggling currently.

Effectively this means anyone who owns their house and for whatever reason want to move away for a while, perhaps a few years, are now not going to let their property.  They can't be sure they will be able to evict a tenant when they want it back, even if it has been let on the understanding it is for a fixed term.
