Notice under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988
This is the formal notice that you must serve on (i.e. give to) a tenant to tell them that you're seeking possession of your property under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988.
It can only be used for properties in England let under an assured or assured shorthold tenancy agreement.
You must not send this notice:
- Before the tenancy starts
- Unless the tenant has lived in the property for at least 4 months
- Before the end of the fixed-term of a tenancy (unless there is a break clause in the tenancy agreement allowing you to do so)
- If you've failed to comply with several other conditions (which are set out in the guidance notes of this document).
Otherwise, you can use our document Covering letter for section 21 notice to send it.
