You can use this document (also known as Form 3A) to create the formal, legally required notice telling tenants that you're going to seek possession of your property due to rent arrears. It also includes a schedule of rent arrears to accompany the notice.
The document is suitable for a single landlord operating as an individual or business entity, or up to 4 individual (joint) landlords.
You should only use it if:
- The property is in England and let under under an assured tenancy agreement
- The property has no more than 4 tenants
- You are currently owed rent.
You can use our document Covering letter for section 8 notice to send it.
You must not use this notice if you're:
- Told that the tenant has been granted formal 'breathing space' from the rent arrears debt under the Debt respite scheme, without first getting a court's permission.
- Seeking possession on any grounds other than rent arrears.
