Form RHW38: Landlord termination notice (converted fixed-term standard contract)
If you want to end the resulting converted fixed-term contract, this is the formal notice you must give to your contract-holders (i.e. tenants). It replaces the section 21 notice under the old rules.
You must give the notice to contract-holders before the end of the fixed term. It tells them when they need to move out. You must give them at least 2 months' notice. These are special rules that apply only to converted fixed-term occupation contracts.
However, you can only use this form if you've created and given a written converted fixed-term standard occupation contract to your contract-holders. You're not entitled to use the special rules for converted fixed-term contracts until you do this.
There are other qualifying conditions - our document questionnaire will guide you through these and warn if you need to take any action.
You can't use this notice if:
- the fixed-term has ended;
- you want to end the fixed-term early using a break clause; or
- you've already given a valid section 21 notice before 1 December 2022.
