A Section 21 notice allows landlords to regain possession without proving tenant wrongdoing. It can be used after a fixed-term tenancy ends or during a periodic tenancy.
Pre-notice requirements
- Deposit protected in a government-approved scheme
- Energy Performance Certificate provided
- Gas Safety Certificate provided (if applicable)
- How to Rent guide given to tenant
- Property licensing complied with
The Section 21 process
- Ensure all pre-notice requirements are met
- Serve Form 6A with at least 2 months' notice
- Apply for accelerated possession if tenant stays
- Obtain possession order through the courts
- Arrange bailiff enforcement if necessary
Errors in notice preparation or service can invalidate a Section 21 and significantly delay the process. Our solicitors ensure compliance at every step.
